Unfortunately, that makes it rather complicated. Cmake no longer provide binaries for 32-bit Linux, so if you want to go ahead with this you would need to download the source code for Cmake, build that and install Cmake, and only then can you build Audacity.
If your computer hardware is 64-bit, then the best solution would be to upgrade your OS to an up to date 64-bit system (example, Mint 20 64-bit). I believe that has a sufficiently recent version of Cmake in it's repositories.

Thanks. I figured that might be the case. I may go ahead and update to 64 bit. I've just had bad experiences with losing data because not everything was backed up/saved and I'm nervous about trying it again! I appreciate your help.

I think these instructions should work for Mint 20:
