If you mean
2^(2x) = 3
then
log(2^(2x)) = log(3)
2x log(2) = log(3)
x = log(3)/(2log(2))
8x = 8log(3)/(2log(2)) = 4log(3)/log(2)

If 2^(2x) = 3, then we change this to logarithmic form.
A reminder that
b^a = c in logarithmic form is log[base b](c) = a
log[base 2](3) = 2x
Since we want to find 8x, then
8x = 4(2x) = 4(log[base 2](3))

I'm assuming the left side is 2^(2x), not (2^2)x. In that case, take the log of both sides:
log(2^(2x)) = log(3)
2x * log(2) = log(3)
2x = log(3) / log(2)
x = log(3) / (2*log(2))
It doesn't matter what base you use for the log. You could also simplify this to (1/2) * (log[base 2](3))

Good question. It tests your ability to pay attention.
2^(2x) =3 therefore ln 2^(2x) = ln 3 or (2x) ln2 = ln 3
finally x = 1/2 ln 3/2 and so 8x = 4 ln 3/2

You could take the log of both sides, getting 2x log 2 = log 3,
then divide both sides by log 2, then multiply both sides by 4

2^2x=3
=>4x=3
=> x=3/4
Hence 8x=(3/4)X8=6

Gotta have parentheses!
Do you mean (2^2)x = 3 or do you mean 2^(2x) =3
