Solve $4^{x+2}=5^{x}$. Enter an exact answer or round your answer to the nearest tenth. Do not include " $x=$ " in your answer.
Provide your answer below:
Round the solution to the nearest tenth to get \(\boxed{12.4}\)
Step 1 :Given the equation \(4^{x+2}=5^{x}\)
Step 2 :Take the logarithm of both sides to get \(\log(4^{x+2}) = \log(5^{x})\)
Step 3 :Use the properties of logarithms to bring down the exponents, resulting in \((x+2)\log(4) = x\log(5)\)
Step 4 :Isolate x to find the solution, which gives \(x = -\log\left(\frac{2^{4}}{\log\left(\frac{4}{5}\right)}\right)\)
Step 5 :Evaluate this expression numerically to get an approximate solution of 12.4251348780216
Step 6 :Round the solution to the nearest tenth to get \(\boxed{12.4}\)
