!!! question I'm not too sure how to do this, I need a direct answer as i am currently kinda struggling w my grades

Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
when you set these two equations equal to each other, you plug in numbers for x until you find one that makes both sides of the equation equal. For example, 2^x - 1 = -x + 5 if you plug a 2 in for x you get 4-1 = -2+5 and both sides of the equation are equal to 3
