i included a picture of the problem. its easier to show you than to type it. really appreciate your help.

Answer 1

where is it?

Answer 2

right there. thanks QuantumTorch.

Answer 3

Sure thing. Natural log both sides and then it becomes a simple algebraic equation.

Answer 4

I gotta go to bed so I can't be too specific, but you get something like the x-1=(1/4)x+2 or whatever the leftover components were

Answer 5

I'm sorry, plus the ln of all that

Answer 6

\[e ^{x-1}=(1/e ^{4})^{x+2}\]
\[e ^{x-1}=e ^{-4(x+2)}\] and hence \[x-1=-4x-8\] and x=-1.4

Answer 7

thank you for all your help
