Answer:

x = - 6

Explanation:

6x - 8 = 2x - 32

Move 2x to the left hand side of the equation

6x - 2x - 8 = - 32

4x - 8 = - 32

Move -8 to the right side of the equation

4x = - 32 + 8

4x = - 24

Divide both sides by 4


(4x)/(4) = - (24)/(4) \\

We have the final answer as

x = - 6

Hope this helps you
