Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Begin by dividing by 5
2x + 4 = 3
Is this written as 2^(x + 4) = 3? I think it is.
Take the log of both sides
log 2^(x + 4) = log(3)
(x + 4) * log(2) = log 3
log 2 = 0.30103
log 3 = 0.47712
(x + 4) = log2 / log3
x + 4 = 0.63093 Add 4 to both sides
x = -3.369 Rounded to the nearest thousandth
====================
If you mean the question exactly as it is written (the 4 is not part of the power)
5(2^x + 4) = 15
2^x + 4 = 3
2^x = 3 - 4
2^x = - 1
This can't be done 2 to any power should be >0.
if x>0 then this will give an ever increasing number
if xK0 then this will give an ever decreasing answer but still greater than 0.
No value will make 2^x go to something minus.
If I have misread this in some way, leave a note and I will get back to you.
Order of operations (from high priority to low priority):

All in left to right.
2 ÷ (5 + 3)⁻¹ ÷ 4
2 ÷ (8)⁻¹ ÷ 4
2 ÷ 1/8 ÷ 4
16 ÷ 4
= 4
Slope = 2/3 (positive 2/3)
You use the formula Y2-Y1/X2-X1 in order to get the slope
It is 12 since 1/6=6^-1=6
implies 2*6=12
