the answer was y = 8x
please help ! so confused

log2(y) = 3 + log2(x)
First, subtract log2(x) from each side:
log2(y) - log2(x) = 3
Combine the logarithmic terms:
log2(y/x) = 3
Raise 2 to the power of each side to cancel out the logarithm:
y/x = 2^3
y/x = 8
Now, multiply each side by x:
y = 8x

the notation I have used is logm(n), which is the logarithm (of base m) of n
log2(y) = 3 + log2(x)
log2(y) = 3log2(2) + log2(x)
because loga(a) = 1, therefore 3 = 3log2(2) [LOG LAWS]
log2(y) = log2(2^3) + log2(x)
because logc(a^b) = blogc(a) [LOG LAWS]
log2(y) = log2(8) + log2(x)
log2(y) = log2(8x)
because logc(ab) = logc(a) + logc(b) [LOG LAWS]
log2(y) = log2(8x)
2^(log2(y)) = 2^(log2(8x))
y = 8x
because c^(logc(a)) = a [LOG LAWS]
