We'll write 64 = 8^2, so 1/64 =
1/8^2
We'll apply the rule of negative
power:
1/8^2 = 8^-2
We'll
re-write the equation:
8^(4x-6) =
8^-2
Since the bases are matching, we'll apply the one to
one property of exponential functions:
4x - 6 =
-2
We'll isolate x to the left
side:
4x = 6 - 2
4x =
4
We'll divide by 4:
x =
1
The only solution of the equation is x =
1.
