-5x=3x+32

To solve this equation we must move 3x from the right side to the left side to collect x on one side

To do that subtract 3x from both sides


\begin{gathered} -5x-3x=3x-3x+32 \\ -8x=32 \end{gathered}

Now we need x without -8, then

Divide both sides by -8


\begin{gathered} (-8x)/(-8)=(32)/(-8) \\ x=-4 \end{gathered}

The solution is x = -4
