Question

If \(2^x + 2^{x+2} = 80\), find x.

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

4

We are given \(2^x + 2^{x+2} = 80\).

Write \(2^{x+2} = 2^x \cdot 2^2 = 4 \cdot 2^x\), so the equation becomes \(2^x + 4\cdot 2^x = 80\).

This gives \(5 \cdot 2^x = 80\), so \(2^x = 16 = 2^4\).

Hence \(x = 4\).
