Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly let's discuss the approach involved in solving the question
If we can make bases equal we will be able to equate powers this is one among the basics law of exponents
We know 8 = 2³
Substituting that in your question we get
2⁵ˣ =2³(ˣ⁺²)
2⁵ˣ =2³ˣ⁺⁶
Equating powers now,
5x=3x+6
5x-3x=6
2x=6
x=3
