\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 4^(x+1)=5^(-x)


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail ln4^(x+1)=ln5^(-x)


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail (x+1)ln4=-xln5


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail xln4+ln4=-xln5


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail xln4+xln5=-ln4


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x(ln4+ln5)=-ln4


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=(-ln4)/(ln4+ln5)


\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=(-ln4)/(ln20)

Option F is correct
