Evaluate 1/3x^4=27

$\frac{1}{3} x^{4} = 27$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $3$ .

$3 (\frac{1}{3} x^{4}) = 3 \cdot 27$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Simplify $3 (\frac{1}{3} x^{4})$ .

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $x^{4}$ .

$3 \frac{x^{4}}{3} = 3 \cdot 27$

Cancel the common factor of $3$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$3 \frac{x^{4}}{3} = 3 \cdot 27$

Rewrite the expression.

$x^{4} = 3 \cdot 27$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $3$ by $27$ .

$x^{4} = 81$

Take the 4th root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$x = \pm \sqrt[4]{81}$

Simplify $\pm \sqrt[4]{81}$ .

Rewrite $81$ as $3^{4}$ .

$x = \pm \sqrt[4]{3^{4}}$

Pull terms out from under the radical, assuming positive real numbers.

$x = \pm 3$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$x = 3$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$x = - 3$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$x = 3, - 3$
