Solve the equation

3^{\log (x^{2}) - 1} = 4 \times 3^{\log (x)} - 9

The left hand side

3^{\log (x^{2}) - 1}

can be expressed as

\frac{3^{2 \log (x)}}{3}

Again, working on the left hand side, this can be further expressed as

\frac{[3^{\log (x)}]^{2}}{3}

making the whole equation a quadratic in disguise! (Let $u = 3^{\log (x)}$ )

Give the (positive) difference between the solutions.
