$$\mathrm{Solve}\:\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{real}\:\mathrm{numbers}: \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{16}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} \:+\:\mathrm{4}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} \:+\:\mathrm{1}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} }{\mathrm{4}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} \:+\:\mathrm{2}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} \:+\:\mathrm{1}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} }\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{8}^{\boldsymbol{\mathrm{x}}} \:+\:\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{65}} \\ $$

$$\frac{{t}^{\mathrm{4}} +{t}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} +{t}+\mathrm{1}}=\frac{{t}^{\mathrm{3}} +\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{65}} \\ $$$$\frac{\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} +{t}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} −{t}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} +{t}+\mathrm{1}}=\frac{\left({t}+\mathrm{1}\right)\left({t}^{\mathrm{2}} −{t}+\mathrm{1}\right)}{\mathrm{65}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}=\frac{{t}+\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{65}} \\ $$$${t}=\mathrm{64} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{8} \\ $$
