{ [16 * 2^(n + 1)] * [2^(n)] } / { [16 * 2^(n + 2)] - [2 * 2^(n + 2)] } → 16 = 2^(4)

= { 2^(4) * 2^(n + 1) * 2^(n) } / { [2^(4) * 2^(n + 2)] - [2^(1) * 2^(n + 2)] } → you know that: (x^a) * (x^b) =
x^(a + b)

= { 2^(4 + n + 1 + n) } / { [2^(4 + n + 2)] - [2^(1 + n + 2)] }

= { 2^(2n + 5) } / { [2^(n + 6)] - [2^(n + 3)] } → recall: x^(a + b) = (x^a) * (x^b)

= { 2^(n) * 2^(n) * 2^(5) } / { [2^(n) * 2^(6)] - [2^(n) * 2^(3)] } → you can simplify by: 2^(n)

= { 2^(n) * 2^(5) } / { [2^(6)] - [2^(3)] }

= { 2^(n) * 32) } / { 64 - 8 }

= { 2^(n) * 32 } / 56

= { 2^(n) * 4 * 8 } / (7 * 8)

= [2^(n) * 4] / 7 → recall: 4 = 2^(2)

= 2^(n + 2) / 7
