Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x + -8 = 32

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 5x = 32

Solving

-8 + 5x = 32

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 5x = 32 + 8

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 5x = 32 + 8

5x = 32 + 8

Combine like terms: 32 + 8 = 40

5x = 40

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 8

Simplifying

x = 8
