Let's solve the problems based on the image.

### 1. \( \log_3(9x) = \log_3(x - 8) = 4 \)

We can break this down into two parts.

#### First equation: 
\[
\log_3(9x) = 4
\]

To solve, rewrite this equation in exponential form:
\[
9x = 3^4
\]
Since \( 3^4 = 81 \), we have:
\[
9x = 81
\]
Now, divide both sides by 9:
\[
x = \frac{81}{9} = 9
\]

#### Second equation:
\[
\log_3(x - 8) = 4
\]

Rewriting this in exponential form gives:
\[
x - 8 = 3^4
\]
So, \( x - 8 = 81 \). Solving for \( x \):
\[
x = 81 + 8 = 89
\]

Thus, from the two equations, \( x = 9 \) and \( x = 89 \), but these are independent equations. They are just solved separately.

### 2. \( \log_4(9) > 2\log_4(x) \)

We need to simplify this inequality.

Using the logarithmic rule \( a\log_b(x) = \log_b(x^a) \), we rewrite the right-hand side:
\[
\log_4(9) > \log_4(x^2)
\]

Since the base is the same, we can remove the logarithms:
\[
9 > x^2
\]

This is a quadratic inequality. Solving for \( x \), we get:
\[
-3 < x < 3
\]

Thus, the solution is \( x \in (-3, 3) \), but since logarithms are only defined for positive values of \( x \), we further restrict this to:
\[
x \in (0, 3)
\]

### Recap:
1. \( x = 9 \) and \( x = 89 \) from the first set of equations.
2. \( x \in (0, 3) \) for the inequality.

Do you need more details or have any questions about this? Here are some related questions:

1. How can we check if \( x = 9 \) and \( x = 89 \) satisfy both parts of the first equation?
2. What would happen if we had different logarithmic bases in the second problem?
3. How do we solve quadratic inequalities like the one in the second problem?
4. Why can't \( x \) be negative in logarithmic functions?
5. How does changing the base of a logarithm affect the equation or inequality?

**Tip**: Always remember that the logarithm function is only defined for positive values of its argument.
