x=________

Answer 1

so do this
-15 + 28
what does it equal

Answer 2

Simplifying
32 + -6x + 7x = -15 + 28

Combine like terms: -6x + 7x = 1x
32 + 1x = -15 + 28

Combine like terms: -15 + 28 = 13
32 + 1x = 13

Solving
32 + 1x = 13

Solving for variable 'x'.

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

Add '-32' to each side of the equation.
32 + -32 + 1x = 13 + -32

Combine like terms: 32 + -32 = 0
0 + 1x = 13 + -32
1x = 13 + -32

Combine like terms: 13 + -32 = -19
1x = -19

Divide each side by '1'.
x = -19

Simplifying
x = -19
