[tex] x = -5 [/tex]
Answer: x = -5
Explanation:
8x + 32 = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex](25x - 15) - 4x
8x + 32 = 5x - 3 - 4x distributed [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] to 25x - 15
8x + 32 = x - 3 added like terms 5x and -4x
7x + 32 = -3 subtracted x from both sides
7x = -35 subtracted 32 from both sides
x = -5 divided both sides by 7
