yoloshroom · Answer

So is this your question?
$$4^{2x}=32$$

anonymous · Answer

4^2= 16, because 4*4 is 16. Now, you divide both sides by 16.
$$\frac{ 16x }{ 16 }=\frac{ 32 }{ 16 }$$
16x divided by 16 cancels out. NOw, what would 32 divided by 16 be?

campbell_st · Answer

write both sides of the equation as powers of 2. 

$$4^{2x} = 32 ~~~or~~~~(2^2)^{2x} = 2^5$$

so after multiplying the powers you get

$$2^{4x} = 2^5$$

equate the powers so 

4x = 5

and just solve for x
