5^21 * 4^11 = 2*10^n

What is the value of n?
Don't look for the incorrect things that you have done rather look for remedies....

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

5^21 * (2^2)^11 = 2* (2*5)^n
5^21 * 2^22 = 2*2^n*5^n
5^21 * 2^22 = 2^(n+1) * 5^n

Compare the two sides: n= 21 (Since 5^21 = 5^n)

I hope it helps!!
