Option D is correct

Explanation

Given the equation 3x+3x+1=1083^x + 3^{x+1} = 108. We can rewrite 3x+13^{x+1} as 3x313^x \cdot 3^1. So, the equation becomes 3x+3x3=1083^x + 3^x \cdot 3 = 108. Factor out 3x3^x: 3x(1+3)=1083^x(1 + 3) = 108. This simplifies to 3x(4)=1083^x(4) = 108. Divide by 44: 3x=1084=273^x = \frac{108}{4} = 27. Since 27=3327 = 3^3, we have 3x=333^x = 3^3. Therefore, x=3x = 3.
