Answer: The required ratio is,

$2:5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The number of cats = 8,

Number of dogs = 20,

Thus, the ratio of cats and dogs = $\frac{\text{number of cats}}{\text{number of dogs}}$

$=\frac{8}{20}$

LCM(8, 20) = 4

$=\frac{8\div 4}{20\div 4}$

$=\frac{2}{5}$

Take the logarithm of both sides. The base of the logarithm doesn't matter.

$4^{5x} = 3^{x-2}$

$\implies \log 4^{5x} = \log 3^{x-2}$

Drop the exponents:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = (x-2) \log 3$

Expand the right side:

$\implies 5x \log 4 = x \log 3 - 2 \log 3$

Move the terms containing x to the left side and factor out x :

$\implies 5x \log 4 - x \log 3 = - 2 \log 3$

$\implies x (5 \log 4 - \log 3) = - 2 \log 3$

Solve for x by dividing boths ides by 5 log(4) - log(3) :

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ 2 \log 3 }{ 5 \log 4 - \log 3 }}$

You can stop there, or continue simplifying the solution by using properties of logarithms:

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 3^2 }{ \log 4^5 - \log 3 }$

$\implies x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log 1024 - \log 3 }$

$\implies \boxed{x = -\dfrac{ \log 9 }{ \log \frac{1024}3 }}$

You can condense the solution further using the change-of-base identity,

$\implies \boxed{x = -\log_{\frac{1024}3}9}$
