In order to find the solution to this equation graphically, let's use each side of the equation as a function, and then graph both functions in the same coordinate plane:


\begin{gathered} y_1=e^x\\ \\ y_2=-3x \end{gathered}

Graphing y1 in red and y2 in blue, we have:

The intersection point between the graphs is located at (-0.26, 0.77), therefore the solution to the equation is:


The\text{ }solution\text{ }set\text{ }is\text{ }\lbrace x=-0.26\rbrace
