ANSWER
x = 1.2226
EXPLANATION
To solve this equation we have to apply the property of the logarithm of the base,
Thus, we can apply the natural logarithm - whose base is e, to both sides of the equation,
Now we apply the property of the logarithm of a power,
In our equation,
Then divide both sides by 4 and solve,
The solution to this equation is x = 1.2226, rounded to four decimal places.
