A very common (and somewhat contraversial) proof technique is
\textit{proof by contradiction}. It works as follows:

$x + 1$ is larger than $x$, which contradicts our original assumtion!

We could also observe that there are $x - 1$ places to put a \say{bar} in
the array of ones. This corresponds to $x - 1$ binary positions, and thus
$2^{x-1}$ ways to seperate our array of $1$s with bars.
