Question 683281: Please help me solve this question
Evaluate:
I have started it but I'm not sure if I'm doing it right or how to continue.This is what I have:
log8^(2(x+2))=log16^(x-2)
2(x+2)log8= (x-2)log16
2xlog8 + 4log8 = xlog16 - 2log16
2xlog8 - xlog16 = -4log8 - 2log16
I don't know how to continue from here, can you please help me complete it, and tell me how you got from one step to the next. Thank you.

Evaluate:
Use log base 2:
2(x+2)log2(8) = (x-2)log2(16)
(2x+4)3 = (x-2)4
Solving for x gives x = -10

Convert to a similar base, which in this case is: base 2
With bases being similar, exponents are too. Therefore, 6(x + 2) = 4(x - 2)
6x + 12 = 4x - 8
6x - 4x = - 8 - 12
2x = - 20
