Hey guys I need help with this no links and please explain your work

Answer 1

x = 0.17

Explanation:

Solve for x:

First, take the ln of both sides:

ln(1/16) = ln(8^(4x-2))

You can now bring down (4x-2) in front of the ln:

ln(1/16) = (4x-2)ln(8)

ln(1/16)/ln(8) = 4x-2

4x = ln(1/16)/ln(8) + 2

x = ln(1/16)/4ln(8) + 1/2

x = 0.17
