Please check this. I'd appreciate it.

What is the value of x? Justify each step?
They want me to name the properties that each step belongs to. (i.e. transitive, symmetric, division property of equality, etc.)

AC = 32
I'll draw it in the comments.

AB + BC = AC a. Transitive Property
2x + 6x + 8 = 32 b. Addition Property of Equality
8x + 8 = 32 c. Subtraction Property of Equality
8x = 24 d. Division Property
x = 3 e. Substitution
