Solve for this log equation

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-04-26] [Hit: ]
......
2 + 3log2(3x-1)=17
3log2(3x-1)=15
log2(3x-1)=5

Can anyone explain to me what to do after this step? The answer is 11, but I'm unsure of how to get there. Any help would be great!

Let log be log to base 2

2 + 3 log ( 3x - 1 ) = 17

3 log ( 3x - 1 ) = 15

log ( 3x - 1 ) = 5

3x - 1 = 2^5

3x = 33

x = 11
