    Answer: x=2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Expand.

    32-8x=7x+2

    Add 8x to both sides.

    32=7x+2+8x

    Simplify 7x+2+8x7x+2+8x to 15x+215x+2.

    32=15x+2

    Subtract 22 from both sides.

    32-2=15x

    Simplify 32-2 to 30.

    30=15x

    Divide both sides by 15.

    30/15=x

    Simplify 30/15 to 2

    2=x

    Switch sides.

    x=2
