Is this supposed to be.........

 

4^(3x)=16^(x+1)      ???  if so, note that 16 = 4^2  .....so we have

 

4^(3x)  = [4^2]^(x + 1)

 

4^(3x)  = 4^(2x + 2)     and since the bases are alike, we can solve for the exponents

 

3x  = 2x + 2     subtract 2x from each side

 

x  = 2

 

 

cool cool cool
