Whatever you do to one side, you have to do to the other. Try to get all the x values and regular values together. To do that, just subtract both sides by 6x to cancel it out on one side and subtract it from the other side:
6x-6x+32=-2x-6x = 32=-8x now divide both sides by -8 to get the x by itself
32/-8=-8/-8x = 32/-8=x -4=x so your answer is: x= -4
