{{{log(2^x) = 2*log(2^3) +log(2^5)}}}

The log of an exponential can be rewritten with
the exponent moved out in front of (left of) the
log as a coefficient of the log:

{{{x*log(2) = 2*3*log(2) + 5*log(2)}}}

Rewrite {{{2*3}}} as {{{6}}}

{{{x*log(2) = 6*log(2) + 5*log(2)}}}

Every term can be divided by {{{log(2)}}}

{{{x = 6 + 5}}}

{{{x = 11}}}
