$$4^x = 12$$

anonymous · Answer

Its asking you 4^(to the power of what)= 12

anonymous · Answer

Here's a example:
4^x = 32

(2^2)^(x) = 2^5

2 ^(2x) = 2^5

2x = 5

x = 2.5

@zerosniper123  
it seems this method is difficult to apply in this problem

anonymous · Answer

Im sorry I never completed the rest of this, I'm busy with helping others as well. I was just giving him a example, I had not yet finished detailing since that this problem doesn't have a perfect whole number root that he will have to use another method.

u can aply log on both sides and and clear like: $$4^{x}=12$$
$$\log(4^{x})=\log(12)$$
now log propierties =    xlog(4)=log(12) then x=log4/log12

@zerosniper123  its okay buddy
@Kewwszz  $$x = \frac{ \log12 }{ \log4 }$$
