Question

What common base can be used to rewrite each side of the equation

Answer 1

It is given that:

`\begin{gathered} 2^(x+3)-3=5 \\ 2^(x+3)=5+3 \\ 2^(x+3)=8 \\ 2^(x+3)=2^3 \end{gathered}`

Since both sides are having a base 2, the base 2 can be used to solve the equation.

Option A is correct.
