Assume the problem is

adding logs is multiply so this is

the exponent equiv of logs
X(X-12) = 2^6
distribute X
X^2 - 12X = 64
Forms a quadratic equation
X^2 - 12X - 64 = 0
Factors to
(X-16)(X+4) = 0
X = 16; only the positive solution can be used in the original problem
:
;
See if this checks out wit X=16


16 is the 4th & 4 is the 2nd power of 2, therefore
4 + 2 = 6
