10x + 2 = 32


10x+2-2=32-2


10x=30


(10x)/(10)=(30)/(10)


x=3

"x=3 is correct answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

32= 10x + 2

First, get rid of 2 by using inverse operation in this case -2.

Then we subtract 2 from 32 and that equals 30.

Lastly, divide 30 by 10 which gets your solution of x = 3.
