Answer:
[tex]2^x-4=32\quad :\quad x=\frac{2\ln \left(6\right)}{\ln \left(2\right)}\quad \left(\mathrm{Decimal}:\quad x=5.16992\dots \right)\\\\2^x-4=32 \\\mathrm{Add\:}4\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}\\2^x-4+4=32+4\\\mathrm{Simplify}\\2^x=36\\\\apply exponential rule\\x\ln \left(2\right)=\ln \left(36\right)\\x\ln \left(2\right)=\ln \left(36\right)\\x=\frac{2\ln \left(6\right)}{\ln \left(2\right)}[/tex]
hope it helps:)
