Question

what is the value of x in \\(\log_{2}(x) - 3 = 1\\)? \\(2^3\\) \\(2^2\\) \\(2^1\\) \\(2^4\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the logarithmic term

Add 3 to both sides.
$\log_{2}(x) = 1 + 3$
$\log_{2}(x) = 4$

Step2: Convert to exponential form

Use $\log_b(a)=c \iff b^c=a$.
$x = 2^4$

Answer:

$2^4$
