Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

When you have a coefficent in front of a logarithm function, you can take the argument to the power of that coefficient. For example, the 3 in front of the logarithm can be brought into the argument, and you can take 'x' to the third power. You get:


log_(4)( {x}^(3) ) = log_(4)(32) + log_(4)(2)

When you add logarithms, it is equivalent to multiplying their arguments:


log_(4)( {x}^(3) ) = log_(4)(32 * 2) = log_(4)(64)

Since both sides are log base 4, the arguments must equal each other:


{x}^(3) = 64


x = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4
