x=5

Explanation:

Consider 2x+12x×2

Consider 2x+22x×22

Consider 3(2x2)2x×322

Consider 8(3x2)3x×832

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2x(2+22+322)=832×3x

2x×274=89×3x

Divide both sides by 3x

2x3x×274=89×3x3x

But 3x3x=1

2x3x×274=89

Multiply both sides by 427

2x3x×274×427=89×427

But 274×427=2727×44=1

2x3x=89×427

2x3x=32243
'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From this both should be true that

2x=32 and 3x=243

Using logs

xln(2)=ln(32)x=ln(32)ln(2)

x=5
'..........................................

xln(3)=ln(243)x=ln(243)ln(3)

x=5

x=5

Explanation:

2×2x+4×2x+34×2x=(89)3x

grouping

(274)2x=(89)3x
(32)x=27×98×4=(32)5

x=5
