step-by-step explanation:

it's the only multiple of both and the least

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:

it would be 4 over -2 divided by -1 over 3.

if you want a solution it would be 4

you flip it so it would be 4/-2 divided by 3/-1 then it would be 12/3 and you would simplify it to 4
