Your friend asks you to help cut grass this summer and will pay you 2 pennies for the first job. You agree to help if he doubles your payment for each job completed. After 2 lawns, you will receive 4 pennies, and after 3 lawns, you will receive 8 pennies.

Complete and solve the equation that finds the number of pennies he will pay you after cutting the 15th lawn.
