We have \[(\frac{1}{8})^{x-3}= 2\times 16 ^{2x+1}\] 8= 2^3 so \[(\frac{1}{2^3})^{x-3}= 2\times 16 ^{2x+1}\] so we get \[(2^{-3})^{(x-3)}=2 \times 16^{2x+1}\] we know 16=2^4 so we get now \[2^{-3x+9}=2 \times (2^4)^{2x+1}\] we get now \[2^{-3x+9}=2 \times 2^{8x+4}\] divide both sides by \(2^{8x+4}\) we get \[2^{-3x+9} \times 2^{-8x-4}=2\] \[2^{-11x+5}=2^1\] so \[-11x+5=1\] or \[x=-\frac{4}{11}\]
