If we know that 180-5=128 that means that that equation must be equal to 128.
(2^3x+1)=128
By putting 128 into exponential form with a base of 2 you get 2^7:
(2^3x+1)=2^7
Since these have the same bases we can set the exponents equal to 7. This will give us an exponent of 3x+1=7. By Subtracting across and dividing by 3 you get:
3x=6 to 3/3x = 6/2
This gives us a final answer of:
x=2
The answer is C, although the other options are important as well, in this case, C is the answer you are looking for
B. Because all of the recorded data shows that they are more likely to have an average of two pants instead of three too four
