I think you mean that you have 3 raised to a -1 power divided by 3^3. What you do with negative powers is just moved them up or down in the fraction to make the power positive.
so, you can move the 3 to the denominator as 3^1 power now combine the 1st power with the 3rd power and you will have 3^4 = 81.
You can move the x^-7 to the top of the fraction to get x^7 and you multiply time x^4/3 which means you add 7 and 4/3 to get the powe for x.

the proble is simplify and write using positive exponents only:
3^-1x^4/
3^3x^-7
