Step 1 :Use the one-to-one property of logarithms to solve the equation \(\ln (80-6 x)=\ln (-7 x)\).
Step 2 :The one-to-one property of logarithms states that if \(\ln a = \ln b\), then \(a = b\). Therefore, we can set the arguments of the logarithms equal to each other and solve for \(x\).
Step 3 :Setting \(80 - 6x\) equal to \(-7x\), we get the equation \(80 - 6x = -7x\).
Step 4 :Solving this equation, we find that \(x = -80\).
Step 5 :Final Answer: \(x = \boxed{-80}\)
