Solve for x: $\"4%5E-2%2A4%5E%28%28x%2B1%29%29%2A4%5E3=4%5E5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "all have the same base (4), so we can ignore that;
\n" ); document.write( "multiply means add the exponents, write it as:
\n" ); document.write( "-2 + (x+1) + 3 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "x = 5 - 2
\n" ); document.write( "x = 3 \n" ); document.write( "
