Answer:

C

Explanation:

So we already know that:


2^x=30

And we want to find the value of:


2^(x+3)

So, what you want to do here is to separate the exponents. Recall the properties of exponents, where:


x^2\cdot x^3=x^(2+3)=x^5

We can do the reverse of this. In other words:


2^(x+3)=2^x\cdot 2^3

If we multiply it back together, we can check that this statement is true.

Thus, go back to the original equation and multiply both sides by 2^3:


2^x(2^3)=30(2^3)\\

Combine the left and multiply out the right. 2^3 is 8:


2^(x+3)=30(8)\\2^(x+3)=240

The answer is C.
