LOL sorry for the year late response. 
Answer: The solution of this exponential equation is x = - 9. 
 
First option: - 9 (negative 9) 
 
 
Solution: 
 
3^(4x)=27^(x-3) 
 
Expressing 27 in the base 3: 27=3^3 
 
3^(4x)=(3^3)^(x-3) 
 
Using: (a^b)^c=a^(b c) on the right side of the equation, with a=3, b=3, and 
 
c=x-3: 
 
3^(4x)=3^[3(x-3)] 
 
If we have this equality, with the same base on both sides of the equation, the exponents must be equals: 
 
4x=3(x-3) 
 
Solving for x: Eliminating the parentheses on the right side of the equation aplying the distributive property: 
 
4x=3x-3(3) 
 
4x=3x-9 
 
Subtracting 3x both sides of the equation: 
 
4x-3x=3x-9-3x 
 
x=-9
