I think there is a wrong in number $144$ which should be $441$ as according to this answer
$$3^x-2=7$$
$$frac3^x9=7$$
$$3^x=63$$
$$3^2x=3969$$
$$3^2x-2=frac39699$$
$$3^2x-2=441$$
so
$$(441)^frac12x-2=3$$
therefore the answer is $C$
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
A logical solution, however, is given as 144 instead of 441. Otherwise the solution is very easy.

@AbdullahAKKURT But with $144$ the answer is an irrational number. If the solution is that straightforward, there is no need to complicate things.
