Question

6x+32=−2x

hi!! drawing a picture would really help cuz i’m more of a visual leading but any answer will help! thank you

Answer 1

whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
Try to get all the x values and regular values together.
To do that, just subtract both sides by 6x to cancel it out on one side and subtract it from the other side:

6x-6x+32=-2x-6x
=
32=-8x
now divide both sides by -8 to get the x by itself

32/-8=-8/-8x
= 32/-8=x
-4=x
so your answer is: x= -4
