6(x+6)=4x+32 (distribute the 6)
6x + 36 = 4x + 32 (subtract 4x from both sides)
2x + 36 = 32 (subtract 36 from both sides)
2x = -4 (divide by 2 on both sides)
x = -2

Step 1: 6(X + 6) = 4X + 32
Step 2: (6 x X) + (6 x 6) = 4X + 32
Step 3: 6X + 36 = 4X + 32
Step 4: 6X + 36 - 4X = 32
Step 5: 36 + 2X = 32
Step 6: 2X = 32 - 36
Step 7: 2X = -4
Step 8: X = -4 / 2
Step 9: X = -2
Hope that this is clear ^^

1. Let's distribute the numbers first so that we don't have any parentheses:
6x + 36 = 4x + 32
2. Then, transpose all the numbers containing the x's to the left side, and the constants to the right. If you transfer a number to the other side, make sure to turn positive into negative, and negative into positive:
6x - 4x = 32 - 36
3. Let's add (or subtract) the numbers from both sides:
2x = -4
4. Solve for x by dividing both sides by 2:
x = -2

6(x+6) = 4x + 32
6x + 36 = 4x + 32
6x - 4x = 32 -36
2x = -4
x = -4 / 2
x = -2

6(x+6)=4x+32
6x+36=4x+32
6x=4x-4
2x=-4
x=-2
Now check: 6((-2)+6)=4(-2)+32
6(4) =-8+32
24 =24

x= -2
you distribute 6 to x and 6 on the left side to get 6x-36=4x+32 you combine like terms by subtracting 4x from both sides to get 2x+36=32 then you subtract 36 from both sides to get 2x by itself and get 2x= -4 then you subtract by 2 to get the variable by itself ao therefore x= -2

Step 1. Multiply 6 times (x + 6)
Step 2. Get the x on the left side of the equal sign
Step 3. Get the one number on the left side of the equal sign (36)onto the the right side of the equal sign
Step 4. Divide numbers on both sides of the equal sign by the number that is multiplied by x on the left side of the equal sign.
Step 5. Praise God!! The result is the value for x!!
TO CHECK YOUR ANSWER:
substitute your answer for x in the original problem.
If the sides are equal (in this case 24=24), your answer for x is correct. If not, try again.
