How do you know that no other values of x satisfy this equation?
Both the L H S and R H S are strictly increasing with x . It can be shown that L H S < R H S for x < 4 , L H S = R H S for x = 4 and L H S > R H S for x > 4 .

( 2 ) x + ( 3 ) x 2 2 x + 3 2 x ⇒ 2 2 x + 3 2 x For x = 4 ⇒ 2 2 4 + 3 2 4 2 2 + 3 2 = ( 1 3 ) 2 x = 1 3 4 x = ( 4 + 9 ) 4 x = ( 2 2 + 3 2 ) 4 x = ( 2 2 + 3 2 ) 4 4 = 2 2 + 3 2
⇒ x = 4
