Impossible

Explanation:

We 'assume' that n is an integer. This means 2n is always an even integer.
The left hand side term is 12n this is always equal to 1.
Or if we read the left hand term differently as (12n), then the term is always -1.
The right hand term is 13 + 58 which is way bigger than 1 or -1
So in both interpretations of -1^2n the question has no solution for n.

Am I missing something here?
