Answer

$x = \dfrac{4}{9}$

Work Step by Step

Rewrite terms so that they have common bases: $(3^{3})^{3x} = 3^{4}$ Use the Power Property of Exponents, which says that when a power is raised to a power, multiply the exponents, keeping the base as-is: $3^{9x} = 3^{4}$ If two numbers having the same base are equal, then their exponents are also equal; therefore, set the exponents equal to one another: $9x = 4$ Divide both sides of the equation by $9$: $x = \dfrac{4}{9}$
