SymPy Gamma

SymPy:

solve (8**(3*x)-16**(x+1))

$\mathrm{solve}\;- 16^{x + 1} + 8^{3 x}=0$

Result:

solve (8**(3*x)-16**(x+1))

$\frac{4}{5}$
$\frac{4}{5} - \frac{4 i \pi}{5 \log{\left(2 \right)}}$
$\frac{4}{5} - \frac{2 i \pi}{5 \log{\left(2 \right)}}$
$\frac{4}{5} + \frac{2 i \pi}{5 \log{\left(2 \right)}}$
$\frac{4}{5} + \frac{4 i \pi}{5 \log{\left(2 \right)}}$
