Question

1) Given the equation ax + 3 2 = 6, solve for x.

Answer 1

$ax+32=6$
subtract 32 from both sides
$ax+32-32=6-32$
simplify
$ax=-26$
divide both sides by a
$\frac{ax}{a}= \frac{-26}{a}$
simplify 
$x=- \frac{26}{a}$
Hope this helps

Answer 2

Ax + 32 =  6
     - 32  = -32
---------------------
 ax         = -26
----            -----
 a                a

1x          =  -26
                  -----
                     a

x             = -26
