Dividing thirty-two by five we get
x=32/5
=6•4
Turn f(x) into y so the equation is y=x+2. Now switch their places so it is x=y+2. Now solve for y. The answer is y=x-2.
The equation would be
8 = 6x + 2
the “number” is unknown, so it’s x.
6 times the number would be 6x.
The sum of 6x and 2 means adding together 6x and 2, so 6x + 2
And it’s supposed to equal 8
Mike would first have to divid 37 from 12 and he would then find x
