solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable, x=1

-32 + 5x = -3(6x + 5) + 6

  • Distribute -3 inside the parentheses.

-32 + 5x = -18x - 15 + 6

  • Combine like terms on the right side of the equation.

-32 + 5x = -18x - 9

  • Add 32 to both sides.

5x = -18x + 23

  • Add 18x to both sides.

23x = 23

  • Divide both sides by 23.

x = 1
