Question

hows this look:

First, I combined like terms:
5x + 8 + x = 32
(5x + x) + 8 = 32
6x + 8 = 32After that, I isolated the term with X by subtracting 8 from both sides:

6x + 8 − 8 = 32 − 8
6x = 24
Solved for x by dividing both sides by 6.
x = 24 / 6
x = 4
Checking my answer by substituting x = 4 into the original equation:
5(4) + 8 + 4 = 20 + 8 + 4 = 32, matches the right side.
Answer: x = 4.

Answer 1

Looks good — your work and answer are correct. A couple tiny style suggestions and a slightly cleaner write-up:

- Use consistent lowercase x.
- Put each step on its own line and include spaces around operators for readability.

Cleaned-up version:

5x + 8 + x = 32
(5x + x) + 8 = 32
6x + 8 = 32
6x + 8 − 8 = 32 − 8 (subtract 8 from both sides)
6x = 24
x = 24 / 6
x = 4

You also correctly checked: 5(4) + 8 + 4 = 20 + 8 + 4 = 32. Good job.
