128^(2x-1)=(1/16)^(x+2)
-----------------------
128 = 2^7 (if you don't know this, you should)
1/16 = 2^-4
-------------

Since the bases are the same:
7(2x-1) = -4(x+2)
You can finish it.

No logarithms needed
128^(2x-1)=(1/16)^(x+2)
128^(2x-1)=(16^(-1))^(x+2)
(2^7)^(2x-1)=2^4(^(-x-2))
2^(14x-7)=2^(-4x-8)
14x-7=-4x-8
18x=-1
x=-1/18
