Answer

The solution to the equation is \(x = \boxed{0.316}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The given equation is \(-27 x^{-3 / 4}=-64\).

Step 2 :Divide both sides by \(-27\) to isolate \(x^{-3 / 4}\) on one side, we get \(x^{-3 / 4} = \frac{-64}{-27} = 2.37\).

Step 3 :Raise both sides to the power of \(-4/3\) to solve for \(x\), we get \(x = (2.37)^{-4/3} = 0.316\).

Step 4 :The solution to the equation is \(x = \boxed{0.316}\).
