4  - 3*2  + 2 = 0
$$\left(- 3 \cdot 2^{x} + 4^{x}\right) + 2 = 0$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$\left(- 3 \cdot 2^{x} + 4^{x}\right) + 2 = 0$$
or
$$\left(- 3 \cdot 2^{x} + 4^{x}\right) + 2 = 0$$
Do replacement
$$v = 2^{x}$$
we get
$$v^{2} - 3 v + 2 = 0$$
or
$$v^{2} - 3 v + 2 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*v^2 + b*v + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$v_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$v_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = -3$$
$$c = 2$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(-3)^2 - 4 * (1) * (2) = 1

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
v1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

v2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$v_{1} = 2$$
$$v_{2} = 1$$
do backward replacement
$$2^{x} = v$$
or
$$x = \frac{\log{\left(v \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}$$
The final answer
$$x_{1} = \frac{\log{\left(1 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}} = 0$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{\log{\left(2 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}} = 1$$
