Could someone help me answer this?
Solve -2log8(x + 1) = -8.
Thanks so much!

step one, divide both sides by -2
log8(x+1)=4

if the base is 10, and the 8 is together with (x+1): (cannot tell from the way it is written)
8(x+1)=10^4=10000
x+1=1250
x=1249

if the 8 is a base,
8^4=(x+1)
x+1=4096
x=4095
