To find the value of x in the equation 32x = 16, we’ll need to isolate x. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 32.
Starting with the equation:
32x = 16
Now, divide both sides by 32:
x = 16 / 32
This simplifies to:
x = 1 / 2
Therefore, the value of x is 0.5 or 1/2. This means that when you multiply 32 by 0.5, you will indeed get 16, confirming that our solution is correct.
