Selah Schaefer · Answer 1

In this equation x is equal to - 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we first have to note for the base (2) to be larger than the answer (1/32), the exponent would have to be negative. We also can note that 2^5 is equal to 32, which allows us to know that the negated version would give us 1/32.

2^-5 = 1/32
