[snip 9x=3^x]

I've asked in a math NG and they told me a way of solving this by fixpoint
iteration:
you first define x as 1

x := 1

then you divide the initial equation by 9 to get an x=-equation and
calculate:

x := 3^x / 9

you then get a value for x and then you just go on calculating. By the 15th
time the value shouldn't change anymore.
