Algebra Expressions, Equations, and Functions Variable Expressions 1 Answer iceman Oct 21, 2015 #x=12# Explanation: #log_2(2^(x+3))=15=># if #log_a(x)=yhArrx=a^y# , so: #2^(x+3)=2^15=>#when the same bases to different exponents are equal then the exponents must be equal, then: #x+3=15=># subtract 3 from both sides: #x=12# Answer link Related questions How do you write the variable expression for: a quotient of 2 and the sum of a number and 3 ?
