I am having problems on understanidng where to start with my homework. 

i know i am supposed to stat with seperating the left side of the eqution but i am not sure if i did it correctly. Could you please look over my work and see if i did the problem correctly?. I have attached the question and my work. 

Consider the following equation.
E, k2k-1 = (n – 1)2" +1
k=1
(Canvas renders the summation using subscripts and superscripts rather
than writing k=1 below the summation sign and n above the summation
sign.)
Let predicate P(n) be true if that equation is true for n.
(a) Show that P(1) and P(2) are true. If you cannot do that, make sure that
you understand what the equation says.
(b) Using Peano Induction, prove that P(n) is true for every positive integer
n.
