To determine wither a number is a solution to an equation
you have to substitute this number to its variable
If the value is zero then the number is a solution
substitute -5 to 2 - 6x -32 = 0
2 - 6(-5) - 32 = 0
therefore -5 is a solution to the equation

Hey there!
Here's the answer.
2-6x=32 --> Write the problem.
-6x=30 --> Subtract 2 on both sides of the equation.
x=-5 Divide -6 on both sides of the equation.
Since the solution is -5 and your answer is -5, the solutions match up and you're correct.
Hope it helps!

yes
2-6x=32
subtract the 2 from both side
-6x=30
divide both sides by -6
x=-5

2 - 6(-5) = 32
2 - (-30) = 32
2 + 30 = 32
32 = 32
Yes.
