Dear student
 
We can write it as
 
3^x + 3/3^x  - 4 = 0
 
Now assume 3^x = t
 
t + 3/t  - 4 = 0
 
t² -4t +3 = 0
 
(t-1) ( t-3) = 0
 
t = 1 and t = 3
 
Hence
 
3^x = 1
x = 0
 
&
 
3^x = 3
 
x = 1

3x+31-x-4 =0
we can write the above equaion as 
3x+(31/3x)-4=0
Let 3be y
y+(3/y)-4=0
y2+3-4y=0   ( by taking LCM)
(y-1)(y-3)=0  (by factorization)
y =  3  or 1
3x= 31  or  30   (as 30=1)
So x= 1or 0
