Please do not post random answers here. First of all, 9^5 is some big random number. We already know that it is incorrect.

Bit hard to solve it the mathy way, so we do it the stupider way. 

 

x = 1 -- fail

x = 2 -- 81 - 9*6 = 81-54 = 27 -- correct

 

so x = 2.

Notice that all the numbers will be a factor of 9; no matter what x is, under certain conditions it will be a difference of multiples of 9.
