( I dont know how to write power of numbers so i wrote this way?)
I think you meant

(5^21)*(4^11) = 2*(10^n).

If yes, then n=21.

2*(10^n) = 2^(n+1) * 5^n

compare LHS and RHS.

Yeah I think I'm in the same boat.
Here is what I've done so far.

(5^21) + (4^11) = 2 + (10^n)
(5^21) + [(2^2)^11] = 2 + (2^n)*(5^n)
(5^21) + (2^22) = 2 + (2^n)*(5^n)

The plus signs are really throwing me for a loop. Any help?

I'm pretty sure it's not + signs over there, but rather multiplication signs. + signs would make this problem impossible to solve without a calculator, whilst multiplication signs make it pretty striaghtforward.
