Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation, first you want to write the whole thing out.
32x - 1 = 243
Next you want to get the variable by itself, so you are going to use inverse operations. in the equation, it is 32x - 1, so you are going to add one to both sides, getting you this:
32x = 244
Now for the final step you are going to get x alone, so you are going to use inverse operations once more and divide 32 on both sides getting you your answer.
x = 4
Now if you want to check your work simply plug in x, and if it is equal, you got the correct answer!
I hope this helped and good luck with your math!
I'm really sorry if I'm wrong though, even though I already finished this unit a while ago I struggled on this one even though it is so easy compared to the equations I have now.
