128^{x-2}=1
Use the rules of exponents and logarithms to solve the equation.
\log(128^{x-2})=\log(1)
Take the logarithm of both sides of the equation.
\left(x-2\right)\log(128)=\log(1)
The logarithm of a number raised to a power is the power times the logarithm of the number.
x-2=\frac{\log(1)}{\log(128)}
Divide both sides by \log(128).
x-2=\log_{128}\left(1\right)
By the change-of-base formula \frac{\log(a)}{\log(b)}=\log_{b}\left(a\right).
x=-\left(-2\right)
Add 2 to both sides of the equation.
