The solution

 x     
2  = 16
$$2^{x} = 16$$
Detail solution
Given the equation:
$$2^{x} = 16$$
or
$$2^{x} - 16 = 0$$
or
$$2^{x} = 16$$
or
$$2^{x} = 16$$
- this is the simplest exponential equation
Do replacement
$$v = 2^{x}$$
we get
$$v - 16 = 0$$
or
$$v - 16 = 0$$
Move free summands (without v)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$v = 16$$
We get the answer: v = 16
do backward replacement
$$2^{x} = v$$
or
$$x = \frac{\log{\left(v \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}}$$
The final answer
$$x_{1} = \frac{\log{\left(16 \right)}}{\log{\left(2 \right)}} = 4$$
