Answer
x=31
Work Step by Step
Simplifying
-3x + 5(x + -6) = 32
Reorder the terms:
-3x + 5(-6 + x) = 32
-3x + (-6 * 5 + x * 5) = 32
-3x + (-30 + 5x) = 32
Reorder the terms:
-30 + -3x + 5x = 32
Combine like terms: -3x + 5x = 2x
-30 + 2x = 32
Solving
-30 + 2x = 32
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '30' to each side of the equation.
-30 + 30 + 2x = 32 + 30
Combine like terms: -30 + 30 = 0
0 + 2x = 32 + 30
2x = 32 + 30
Combine like terms: 32 + 30 = 62
2x = 62
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 31
Simplifying
x = 31
