Just looking at this, you can see there is only one value for x that will make this work: x=0

1 + 1 = 2^1

x = 0 works, but we need to prove it is the only solution. Note that we can write the equation as



Dividing both sides by 4^x,



As you can see, the LHS is a strictly increasing function of x (bijective or one-to-one), so there can only be one value of x in which the LHS equals 2. We have already found it to be x=0.
