We will solve this power equation x^ln(4)+x^ln(10)=x^ln(25). However, the process of solving this equation would require making one side equal to 0 but factoring every term by x^ln(4), and I don't think the expressions will look that nice. So instead, we can use the log property that a^logb(c)=c^logb(a) and change the equation to an exponential equation. The answer will involve the usage of the quadratic formula and we will also see the golden ratio.
