Proving that $8^x+4^x\geq 5^x+6^x$ for $x\geq 0$.

I want to prove that $$8^x+4^x\geq 6^x+5^x$$ for all $x\geq 0$. How can I do this?

My attempt:

I try by AM-GM: $$8^x+4^x\geq 2\sqrt{8^x4^x}=2(\sqrt{32})^x.$$

However, $\sqrt{32}\approx 5.5$ so I am not sure if $$2(\sqrt{32})^x\geq 5^x+6^x$$ is true.

Also, I try to compute derivatives but this doesn't simplify the problem. What can I do?
