The way you typed it:
(4/2x) = 8^(2x)
2x = 8^(2x)
2x = (2^3)^(2x)
2x = 2^(6x)
x = 2^(6x-1)
at this point, you will have to use some type of
calculator-based method, such as Newtons Method
let's graph it to see what it looks like.

Ahhh, from the graph we can see there is no real solution.
Check your typing. You must have a typo, perhaps you mean something like
4^(2x) = 8^(2x)
In that case x = 0 is the only solution
