Answer

$x =\dfrac{\frac{\log{11}}{\log{7}}+4}{3} \approx 1.7441$$

Work Step by Step

Take the common logarithm of both sides to have: $\log{(7^{3x-4})}=\log{11}$ Apply the power rule to have: $(3x-4)\log{7}=\log{11}$ Divide $\log{7}$ to both sides to have: $3x-4=\dfrac{\log{11}}{\log{7}} \\3x=\dfrac{\log{11}}{\log{7}}+4 \\x =\dfrac{\frac{\log{11}}{\log{7}}+4}{3} \approx 1.7441$
