(1/5)^(2*x+1) == 5^(x-4)
⇒ algebra.manipulation.exponents.reciprocal(5^(-1))^(2*x+1) == 5^(x-4)
⇒ algebra.manipulation.exponents.mul-exponents5^(-2*x-1) == 5^(x-4)
⇒ algebra.manipulation.exponents.equation.same-base-2*x-1 == x-4
⇒ algebra.equations.linear.var-left, term=1*x-3*x-1 == -4
⇒ algebra.equations.coverup.onevar.minus-left-3*x == -3
⇒ algebra.equations.coverup.negate3*x == 3
⇒ algebra.equations.coverup.timesx == 1
