1. **Problem statement:** Given that $2^x = 5$, find the values of:
1) $2^{x+1}$
2) $2^{x-1}$
3) $2^{x+2} + 2^{x+3}$
2. **Formula and rules:**
- For exponents, recall the rule $a^{m+n} = a^m \times a^n$.
- Also, $a^{m-n} = \frac{a^m}{a^n}$.
3. **Step-by-step solution:**
1) Calculate $2^{x+1}$:
Using the exponent addition rule:
$$2^{x+1} = 2^x \times 2^1 = 5 \times 2 = 10$$
2) Calculate $2^{x-1}$:
Using the exponent subtraction rule:
$$2^{x-1} = \frac{2^x}{2^1} = \frac{5}{2} = 2.5$$
3) Calculate $2^{x+2} + 2^{x+3}$:
Break down each term:
$$2^{x+2} = 2^x \times 2^2 = 5 \times 4 = 20$$
$$2^{x+3} = 2^x \times 2^3 = 5 \times 8 = 40$$
Sum them:
$$20 + 40 = 60$$
4. **Final answers:**
1) $2^{x+1} = 10$
2) $2^{x-1} = 2.5$
3) $2^{x+2} + 2^{x+3} = 60$
