exp(4x)=4x has no intersection, so there is no zero. You can quickly see that when you enter the functions in a coordinate system.

only e^x, not e^4x

Oh, right. Then there are zero places

By “normal” calculations as usual: not at all

.

You can find the starting value for an approximation solution with the intersection of e^x and -4x

There is no step-by-step solution because the solution only goes with the Lambert W function that is not a school material.

Numeric solution or GTR is recommended.
