x=-3 3/4x=334

Explanation:

Solve ln (-4x-3)=ln12ln(4x3)=ln12

We observe that on both sides we have lnln of the numbers.
Therefore take "Anti" lnAntiln of both sides
cancel("Anti" ln)"of"cancel (ln) (-4x-3)=cancel("Anti" ln) "of" cancel(ln)12
=>(-4x-3)=12
or -4x=12+3, solving for x
x=-15/4=-3 3/4
