Question

Solve the equation32x – 1 = 16x + 4
PLEASE HELP:(

Answer 1

x = 5/16

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.
