Answer

$x=\dfrac{\log3+2\log8}{4\log8}\\\\ x\approx0.6321 $

Work Step by Step

Getting the logarithm of both sides and then using the properties of logarithms, the value of $x$ in the expression $ 8^{4x-2}=3 $ is \begin{array}{l} \log8^{4x-2}=\log3\\\\ (4x-2)\log8=\log3\\\\ 4x\log8-2\log8=\log3\\\\ 4x\log8=\log3+2\log8\\\\ x=\dfrac{\log3+2\log8}{4\log8}\\\\ x\approx0.6321 .\end{array}
