To find the value of x, we can use the given equation m|n. However, I noticed a small error in your attempt. Instead of using the degree symbol (°), we should use the exponent symbol (^) to indicate the power. Let's correct that and solve for x again!

The equation is (4x+8)⁰ * (2x+10)^2.

When any number is raised to the power of 0, it equals 1. Therefore, (4x+8)⁰ = 1.

Now, we can rewrite the equation as 1 * (2x+10)^2.

To find the value of x, we can solve the equation (2x+10)^2 = 1.

Taking the square root of both sides, we get 2x+10 = ±1.

Now, we can solve for x by subtracting 10 from both sides and dividing by 2.

For the positive square root: 2x+10 = 1 -> 2x = -9 -> x = -4.5.

For the negative square root: 2x+10 = -1 -> 2x = -11 -> x = -5.5.

So, the values of x that satisfy the equation are x = -4.5 and x = -5.5.

Let me know if you have any more questions or need further assistance!
