Express both sides with a common base

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &3^{4x} > (3^2)^{x-3} \\ &3^{4x} > 3^{2(x-3)} \end{aligned}$$

\]

Set up the inequality for the exponents

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &4x > 2(x-3) \\ &4x > 2x - 6 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Solve for x

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &2x > -6 \\ &x > -3 \end{aligned}$$

\]
