27 exponent x/3 = 1/81

we can say exponent as power also

(27 power x) × (3 power -1) = 81 power -1

(3 power 3x) × ( 3 power -1) = 3 power -4

IN MULTIPLICATION WHEN BASES ARE SAME THEN POWERS ARE ADDED

3 power 3x + (-1) = 3 power -4

IN AN EQUATION WHEN BASES ARE EQUAL POWERS ALSO EQUAL

3x +(-1) = -4

3x - 1 = -4

3x = -4 + 1

3x = -3

x = -3/3

x = -1

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

27 exponent x =  [tex]27^x[/tex]

Divided by 3 =   [tex]\frac{27^x}{3}[/tex]

Is equal to : [tex]\frac{1}{81}[/tex]

Therefore,

         [tex]\frac{27^x}{3} = \frac{1}{81}[/tex]

Cross multiplying :

       [tex]27^x \times 81 = 1 \times 3[/tex]

       [tex]27^x = \frac{3}{81}[/tex]

       [tex]27^x = \frac{1}{27}[/tex]

       [tex]27^x = 27^{-1}[/tex]

         [tex]x = -1[/tex]                     [tex][a^x = a^y => x = y][/tex]
