To solve the equation 5x + 8 + x = 32, we first combine like terms on the left side of the equation:
5x + x + 8 = 32
6x + 8 = 32
Next, we isolate the variable x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
6x = 24
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 6:
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the linear equation is x = 4.
5x + x + 8 = 32
6x + 8 = 32
Next, we isolate the variable x by subtracting 8 from both sides of the equation:
6x = 24
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides by 6:
x = 4
Therefore, the solution to the linear equation is x = 4.

Of course! Let's substitute x = 4 back into the original equation 5x + 8 + x = 32:
5(4) + 8 + 4 = 32
20 + 8 + 4 = 32
32 = 32
The equation balances out when x = 4, therefore the solution is correct.
5(4) + 8 + 4 = 32
20 + 8 + 4 = 32
32 = 32
The equation balances out when x = 4, therefore the solution is correct.
