Answer:

x=27

Explanation:

expanding the above expression we get

5x+5=4x+32

grouping numbers with coefficient of x at the left side and constant at the right side we get

5x-4x=32-5

x=27

To solve this equation, we start by distributing both the 5 and the 4 through both set of parentheses.

This gives us 5x + 5 = 4x + 32.

Now subtract 4x from both
sides to get x + 5 = 32.

Now subtract 5 from both sides and x = 27.
