I need to express the solution to y=ab^X for the following problem and I don't know how to solve:
-6log(4m+8) +7 = -5
--------------------------------- 

-6log(4m+8) +7 = -5,

-6log(4m+8) = -5 -7 = -12,

log(4m+8)= %28-12%29%2F%28-6%29 = 2,

4m + 8 = 10%5E2 = 100,

4m = 100-8 = 92,

m = 92%2F4 = 23.
