( 4 x ) ( 5 x ) = ( 2 x ) ( 7 x ) (4^x)(5^x)=(2^x)(7^x)

2 0 x = 1 4 x 20^x=14^x

We knew that if a n = b n a = b a^n=b^n \Rightarrow a=b but 20 14 20 \not= 14 . Therefore, the only answer here is 0 \boxed{0} .

If we expand, the equalty would be as next: 20^x=14^x. Since those numbers has different primes in their compositions, just one choice is left: picking 0 as an exponent, because every 0 exponential is 1. There, 0 is the answer

( 4 x ) ( 5 x ) = ( 2 x ) ( 7 x ) 2 0 x = 1 4 x ( 2 0 x ) ( 1 4 x ) = 1 ( 20 14 ) x = 1 (4^x)(5^x)=(2^x)(7^x) \implies{20^x=14^x} \implies{ \frac{(20^x)}{(14^x)}}=1 \implies {( \frac{20}{14})^x}=1

Because 1 = ( 20 14 ) 0 , 1= ( \frac{20}{14})^0, so we have,

( 20 14 ) x = ( 20 14 ) 0 {(\frac{20}{14})^x}={ ( \frac{20}{14})^0}

Give us x = 0 x= \boxed 0
