Answer

(827)x1=(94)2x+1(2333)x1=(3222)2x+1(23)3(x1)=(32)2(2x+1)(23)3(x1)=(23)2(2x+1)3(x1)=2(2x+1)3x3=4x23x+4x=327x=1x=17\Big(\dfrac{8}{27}\Big)^{x-1} = \Big(\dfrac{9}{4}\Big)^{2x+1}\\[1em] ⇒ \Big(\dfrac{2^3}{3^3}\Big)^{x-1} = \Big(\dfrac{3^2}{2^2}\Big)^{2x+1}\\[1em] ⇒ \Big(\dfrac{2}{3}\Big)^{3(x-1)} = \Big(\dfrac{3}{2}\Big)^{2(2x+1)}\\[1em] ⇒ \Big(\dfrac{2}{3}\Big)^{3(x-1)} = \Big(\dfrac{2}{3}\Big)^{-2(2x+1)}\\[1em] ⇒ 3(x - 1) = -2(2x + 1)\\[1em] ⇒ 3x - 3 = -4x - 2\\[1em] ⇒ 3x + 4x = 3 - 2\\[1em] ⇒ 7x = 1\\[1em] ⇒ x = \dfrac{1}{7}\\[1em]

Hence, the value of x = 17\dfrac{1}{7}.
