Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

So I'll assume that x3 is 3x -->

so 3x • 3x • 3x =? to 3x • 3 • 3?

You can first simplify this to 3^3x =? to 3x • 9 -->

27x =? to 3x • 9 => so there are many solutions but if per say x = 5 then yes it would be equal.

Check with another number per instance 8

27(8) = 216 => 24(9) = 126

Yes they are equal

Hope this helps!
