Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Note that 32 = [tex]2^{5}[/tex]
Given
[tex]2^{x}[/tex] = 32, then
[tex]2^{x}[/tex] = [tex]2^{5}[/tex]
Since the bases on both sides are equal ( both 2 ) equate the exponents
Answer: x = 5
2ˣ = 32
2ˣ = 2⁵
Since the bases are the same, you can set the exponents equal to each other. x = 5
