First you need to make both bases the same:
Lets remove the ^p and ^4
To make the base of 42 equal to 41, you would have 41^x = 41
X - ln(42) / ln(41) = 1.00648904
Now you have 41^1.00648904(p) = 41^4
Now the bases are equal so we need to set the exponents to equal:
1.00648904(p) = 4
Divide both sides by 1.00648904 to solve for P
P = 4 / 1.00648904
P = 3.97421114
Answer: In the resulting equation: " a² - 12a + 32 = 0 " ;
________________________________________________________
The "coefficient" of the "a" term is: " - 12" .
________________________________________________________
The "constant" is: " 32 " .

Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Let: "a = x² + 4 " .
Given: (x² + 4)² + 32 = 12x² + 48 ;
______________________________________________________
Factor: "12x² + 48" into " (x² + 4) " ;
"12x² + 48" = 12 (x² + 4) " ;
______________________________________________________
Given: (x² + 4)² + 32 = 12x² + 48 ;
rewrite as; "a² + 32 = 12a " ;
Subtract "12a" from each side of the equation;
"a² + 32 - 12a = 12a - 12a ;
to get:
" a² - 12a + 32 = 0 " .
___________________________________________________
The coefficient of the "a" term; that is:
The "coefficient" of " -12a" ; is: "- 12" .
The constant is: "32<span>" .
