A = 1 + 3 + 32 + 33 + 34 + ... + 32022
3A = 3 + 32 + 33 + ... + 34 + ... + 32022 + 32023
3A - A = (3 + 32 + 33 + ... + 34 + 32022 + 32023) - (1 + 3+...+ 32022)
2A = 3 + 32 + 33 + 34 + ... + 32022 + 32023 - 1 - 3 - ... - 32022
2A = (3 - 3) + (32 - 32) + (34 - 34) + (32022 - 32022) + (32023 - 1)
2A = 32023 - 1
A = \(\dfrac{3^{2023}-1}{2}\)
