According to question,

3x74x+3=832733x74x+3=233(3x7)=2(4x+3)9x21=8x+69x8x=6+21x=27.\Rightarrow \dfrac{3x - 7}{4x + 3} = \dfrac{\sqrt[3]{8}}{\sqrt[3]{27}} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{3x - 7}{4x + 3} = \dfrac{2}{3} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3(3x - 7) = 2(4x + 3) \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9x - 21 = 8x + 6 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 9x - 8x = 6 + 21 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 27.

Hence, x = 27.
