Answer:

x = -5

Explanation:

Let's expand the parentheses on the right side first:

(1/5) * (25x - 15) = (1/5) * 25x - (1/5) * 15 = 5x - 3

Now put this back in:

8x + 32 = 5x - 3 - 4x

Move all the x terms to one side and all the constants to one side:

8x - 5x + 4x = -3 - 32

Combine like terms:

7x = -35

Divide both sides by 7:

x = -35/7 = -5

Thus, the answer is -5.

Hope this helps!
