A.

x = 5








B.

x = 6








C.

x = 10








D.

x = 3

Answer 1

Simplifying
x + 8 + 5x = 32 + -2x

Reorder the terms:
8 + x + 5x = 32 + -2x

Combine like terms: x + 5x = 6x
8 + 6x = 32 + -2x

Solving
8 + 6x = 32 + -2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '2x' to each side of the equation.
8 + 6x + 2x = 32 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: 6x + 2x = 8x
8 + 8x = 32 + -2x + 2x

Combine like terms: -2x + 2x = 0
8 + 8x = 32 + 0
8 + 8x = 32

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 8x = 32 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 8x = 32 + -8
8x = 32 + -8

Combine like terms: 32 + -8 = 24
8x = 24

Divide each side by '8'.
x = 3

Simplifying
x = 3

D

Answer 2

Shift all x on one side:)
