Answer: the answer is d) 0.3466.

Explanation:

Starting with the equation:

6e^(4x) - 3 = 21

Add 3 to both sides:

6e^(4x) = 24

Divide both sides by 6:

e^(4x) = 4

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

ln(e^(4x)) = ln(4)

Use the property of logarithms that ln(e^y) = y:

4x ln(e) = ln(4)

Simplify:

4x = ln(4)

Solve for x by dividing both sides by 4:

x = (1/4) ln(4)

Using a calculator, we get:

x ≈ 0.3466

Therefore, the answer is d) 0.3466.
