24x=0
There is no alternative but that x=0
unless you mean

There is no power that will make 24^x equal to zero

If your equation is:

Then the only value of 'x' that works is 0.
.
if your equation is:

Then x cannot equal 0 because any number raised to the zeroth power = 1.
,
But you get very close to 0 by using negative values for 'x'.
For example, x = -6 results in

.
That's probably not the right answer because "very close to zero" is not the same as "equal to zero."
