Answer:

x=2 is the true solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the expression:

2\ln 4x=2\ln 82ln4x=2ln8

Using:

n\ln m=\ln m^nnlnm=lnm

n

Our given expression becomes:

\ln{4x}^2=\ln{8^2}ln4x

2

=ln8

2

Cancel ln from both sides we get:

4x^2=8^24x

2

=8

2

On simplification we get:

16x^2=6416x

2

=64

x^2=4x

2

=4

Final simplification gives the result:

x=2x=2
