we have the system of equations


\begin{gathered} f(x)=\log_2x+2 \\ g(x)=\log_2x^3-6 \end{gathered}

Equate the functions f(x) and g(x)


\log_2x+2=\log_2x^3-6

Apply property of logarithms


\begin{gathered} \operatorname{\log}_2x+2=3\operatorname{\log}_2x-6 \\ 3\operatorname{\log}_2x-\operatorname{\log}_2x=2+6 \\ 2\operatorname{\log}_2x=8 \\ \operatorname{\log}_2x=4 \end{gathered}

Apply the definition of logarithm


\begin{gathered} 2^4=x \\ x=16 \end{gathered}
