To find the exponent that would make the two expressions equivalent, we can use the property of exponents which states that (a^b)^c = a^(b*c).
In this case, we have (3^3)^x = 3^24.
Using the property of exponents, we can rewrite the left side of the equation as 3^(3*x). Thus, we have 3^(3*x) = 3^24.
Now, since the bases are the same (3), we can set the exponents equal to each other. Therefore, we have 3*x = 24.
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3: x = 24/3 = 8.
Therefore, the answer is 8.
