What appliesand with

We draw a 2^(x-1) each on both sides and receive

We always share with 2

x-6=0, so that 2 high exponent = 1.

32 + 2^(x-1) = 2^x,

with:

32 = 2^5 = 2^x – 2^(x-1) = 2*2^(x-1) – 1*2^(x-1) = 2^(x-1).

Because of the injectivity of the exponential function, the following applies:

5 = x – 1,

with

x = 6

By subtraction

Think about what is 2^x – 2^(x-1).

I find the solution elegant!
