  1. Isolate exponential term: First, let's isolate the exponential term by dividing both sides by -16").\(\newline\$-16\cdot10^{(6x)} = -80\)\(\newline\)\(10^{(6x)} = \frac{-80}{-16}\)\(\newline\)\(10^{(6x)} = 5\)
  2. Take logarithm: Now, we'll take the logarithm of both sides to solve for \(6x\).\[\log(10^{6x}) = \log(5)\]\[6x = \log(5)\]
  3. Divide by \(6\): Next, we divide both sides by \(6\) to solve for \(x\).\[x = \frac{\log(5)}{6}\]
  4. Calculate approximate value: Finally, we'll use a calculator to approximate the value of \(x\).\(\newline\)\(x \approx \log(5) / 6\)\(\newline\)\(x \approx 0.1139\) (rounded to the nearest thousandth)
