To solve the equation \(-x^{3/2} = -27\), we can first eliminate the negative signs on both sides:

\[ x^{3/2} = 27 \]

Next, we can raise both sides to the power of \(\frac{2}{3}\) to isolate \(x\):

\[ x = 27^{2/3} \]

Now, we can simplify \(27^{2/3}\). The cube root of 27 is 3 (since \(3^3 = 27\)), and then we square it:

\[ 27^{2/3} = (3)^2 = 9 \]

So the solution to the equation is:

\[ \boxed{9} \]
