This is a test of commonsense. Complete the next sentence:

How to solve for x
Write down the problem.
Here it is :
2 2 (x + 3) + 9-5 = 32
Resolve the exponent.
Remember the order of operations: pemdas, which stands for parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, and addition/subtraction.
You can't resolve the parentheses first because x is in the parentheses, so you should start with the exponent , 2. 2 = 4 4 (x + 3) + 9-5 = 32 Do the multiplication.
