$${e}^{{xlog}\mathrm{3}} =\mathrm{4}{x} \\ $$$${e}^{−{xlog}\mathrm{3}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}{x}} \\ $$$$−{xlog}\mathrm{3}{e}^{−{xlog}\mathrm{3}} =−\frac{{log}\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$−{xlog}\mathrm{3}={W}_{\mathrm{0}} \left(−\frac{{log}\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right) \\ $$$${x}=−\frac{{W}_{\mathrm{0}} \left(−\frac{{log}\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}\right)}{{log}\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{379}… \\ $$$${or}\:{x}=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{794273}… \\ $$
