Answer:


x=(3\ln(2))/(\ln(7))

Explanation:

First, we can take the natural log of both sides:


\ln(14^(6x)) = \ln(64^(x+3))

And we can use the log exponent rule to simplify ...
\ln(a^b) = b\cdot \ln(a) :


6x\cdot \ln(14) = (x+3)\cdot \ln(64)

The log terms can be reduced further by prime factoring the numbers within the log functions:


6x\cdot \ln(2\cdot7) = (x+3)\cdot \ln(2^6)

and applying the exponent rule once again, as well as the product rule ...
\ln(a\cdot b) = \ln(a) + \ln(b) :


6x\cdot [\:\ln(2)+\ln(7)\,] = (x+3)\cdot 6 \ln(2)

Now, we can solve for x by isolating all terms with x in them:


x\cdot [\:\ln(2)+\ln(7)\,] = x\ln(2)+3\ln(2)

↓ subtracting
x\ln(2) from both sides


x\cdot [\:\ln(2)+\ln(7)\,] - x\ln(2)=3\ln(2)

↓ factoring an
x out of both terms on the left side


x(\ln(2)+\ln(7)-\ln(2))=3\ln(2)

↓ executing the subtraction ...
\ln(2)-\ln(2)=0


x\ln(7)=3\ln(2)

↓ dividing both sides by
\ln(7)


\boxed{x=(3\ln(2))/(\ln(7))}
