So is it this: 64 = 4[ (1/2)^(3x - 1) ]. First I would divide by 4: 16 = (1/2)^(3x - 1). Then you could recognize that 1/2 is the same as 2^(-1) so we have this:
16 = 2^(1 - 3x). Then you might notice that 2^4 is 16, if not then you could take log [base 2] of both sides.
2^4 = 2^(1-3x), So the exponents must equal each other: 4 = 1-3x. so we have 3 = -3x and then x = -1. Plug back in and it checks out
Two lots of one-fourths equals a half.

Two and a half times five is calculated as 2.5 multiplied by 5, which equals 12.5.
I assume the question is about an exponent whose value is a half (or a multiple of a half). An exponent of a half is simply the square root. Similarly, an exponent of (1/3) is a cubed-root and so on.
An exponent is written a half space above the line, so for example, in the number 103, the 3 is an exponent, which instructs us to multiply 10 by itself 3 times, so that the result is a thousand.
