$-8748 = 4x(-3)^x -1?$

(xy)²=(yz)²=(xz)²=xyyzxz=-1

[dense nest]

so move -1 to the left side

then

prime factorisation the number

Ig we have to use ProductLog

Is -1 in the exponent or outside the exponent??

[dense nest]

no need

this is factorable

[cunning lantern]

Oh nice

[dense nest]

maybe it's with the exponent

cuz 8+7+4+8 = 27

which is divisible by 3

The equation is incorrectly written

$-8748 = 4x \times -3^{x-1}$ i assume
