Solve for x over the real numbers:
4^x = 2^(-19-2 x)
Take the natural logarithm of both sides and use the identity log(a^b) = b log(a):
2 log(2) x = log(2) (-19-2 x)
Expand out terms of the right hand side:
2 log(2) x = -19 log(2)-2 log(2) x
Add 2 x log(2) to both sides:
4 log(2) x = -19 log(2)
Divide both sides by 4 log(2):
Answer: |x = -19/4
