Hello

We are given a log funtion to solve and see if it have a solution.

[tex]\log _2(x+2)=\log _2(15)[/tex]

Step 1

we apply log rules

[tex]\begin{gathered} \log _2(x+2)=\log _215 \\ x+2=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 2

Solve for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+2=15 \\ x=15-2 \\ x=13 \end{gathered}[/tex]

From the calculation above, the solution of the set is 13; i.e x = 13
