\frac{1}{36}\times 6^{3x-4}=216
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
6^{3x-4}=7776
Multiply both sides by 36.
\log(6^{3x-4})=\log(7776)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(3x-4\right)\log(6)=\log(7776)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
3x-4=\frac{\log(7776)}{\log(6)}
Divide both sides by \log(6).
3x-4=\log_{6}\left(7776\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
3x=5-\left(-4\right)
Add 4 to both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{9}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
