Answer:
x = 11.5
Explanation:
Taking the logarithm base 2 will transform this to a linear equation.
2(2x+7) = 3(2x -3)
0 = 3(2x -3) -2(2x +7) . . . . subtract the left side
0 = 2x -23 . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify
0 = x - 23/2 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
11.5 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 11.5
The solution is x = 23/2 = 11.5.
