46. Find the value of , if
    

Let’s simplify the equation . First, notice that is simply .

Now, we need to clarify what denotes in this context. If we interpret as , it equals 2. So the equation becomes:

Now, we can isolate :

At this point, we can see that is not a power of 2, so we will assume was intended to be another variable, say .

If we examine the original equation assuming implies (which is an incorrect assumption since 0 doesn’t fit our original equation), we should test actual values of :

Now, solving :
The closest powers of are and , lies between these values. Therefore, we can deduce:

This means should be roughly around 7.5, which isn’t possible in our integer options provided. Instead, let’s replace from earlier solving to find in

A similar approach verifies as closely approximating gives a succinct concluding thought that steps close answering values are feasible backwards; an eventual resolve yields through logarithmic simplification proves awkward. Let’s retry multiples on values of

If :

Not close too!

Proposing :

A useful test gives up on integer test resolvable to adjustments fitting concluding at no :

Confirmed towards either:
