log(x)     
------ = -2

$$\frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{4} = -2$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{4} = -2$$
$$\frac{\log{\left(x \right)}}{4} = -2$$
Let's divide both parts of the equation by the multiplier of log =1/4
$$\log{\left(x \right)} = -8$$
This equation is of the form:
log(v)=p

By definition log
v=e^p

then
