First let's isolate the base and its exponent by adding 3 to each side:
If we really understand exponents well we'll see a fairly quick solution to this. We want the exponent on the left to disappear. The quickest way to do this is to raise each side to the 4/3 power. (If you don't see why, wait until we're done:
By our rule for raising powers to a power, we multiply the exponents on the left and when we multiply reciprocals like 3/4 and 4/3 we get... 1!
On the right side we can use our calculators if we don't get how easy is to find by hand. So now we have:
This is simple to solve.
