Answer:
yes
Step-by-step explanation:
You can always separate an equation into two parts and see where those graphs intersect.
Joel's method works well.

Additional comments
Preston should know that the invention of logarithms makes it easy to solve equations like this. x = log₂(14) = log(14)/log(2) ≈ 3.8073549.
As for Joel's method, I prefer to subtract the right side to get the equation ...
2^x -14 = 0
Then graphing y = 2^x -14, I look for the x-intercept. Most graphing calculators make it easy to find x- and y-intercepts. Not all make it easy to find points of intersection between different curves.
