How do you intend for that? Did you accidentally neglect an association?

If you say this: 6^x+1=12x rendered as 6%5Ex%2B1=12%5Ex, then this is a difficult equation to solve. Bases can not well be arranged to be compared.

If you really mean 6^(x+1)=12^x which renders as 6%5E%28x%2B1%29=12%5Ex, then this is easier to solve.

USE PARENTHESES!! Is it that difficult to do so?

If 6%5E%28x+%2B+1%29+=+12%5Ex, then: highlight_green%28x+=+2.584963%29
