               If {{{(2^n * 2)/2^(- 5) = 2^2}}}, then:
                 {{{(2^n * 2^1)/2^(- 5) = 2^2}}}
              {{{(2^(n + 1))/2^(- 5) = 2^2}}}
                 {{{2^(n + 1) = (2^2)(2^(- 5))}}} ---- Cross-multiplying
                 {{{2^(n + 1) = 2^(2 + - 5)}}}
                    n + 1 = 2 + - 5 --- EQUATING exponents, since bases are equal
                    n + 1 = - 3 
                           n = - 3  -  1 = - 4</font></font></font></b></pre>
