Answer:
x = 5/16
Step-by-step explanation:
"Solving this equation" means determining the x value that makes the equation true. Since it's a linear equation, there can be only one solution.
Starting with 32x – 1 = 16x + 4, subtract 16x from both sides, obtaining:
16x - 1 = 4
and then add 1 to both sides, obtaining 16x = 5. Then x = 5/16.
