If (2^3)^2 * 2^x = 2^10, what is the value of x?

A 2
B 3
C 4
D 5

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Using exponent rules, (2^3)^2 = 2^(3*2) = 2^6. So the equation becomes 2^6 * 2^x = 2^10. When multiplying powers with the same base, add the exponents: 2^(6+x) = 2^10. Therefore, 6 + x = 10, which means x = 4.
