Yes; you are absolutely correct!
-x = 32 is the exact same thing as x = -32
Let me show you why:
An equation is just a statement that shows that two things are equal (the same). Regardless of what the terms on each side of the equation may be, the two sides of the equation must ALWAYS be equal to each other. If you do something to one side of the equation, you do the EXACT same thing to the other side. For example, if you add 1 to the left side, you have to add 1 to the right side too.
-x = 32
Multiply both sides of this equation by -1:
-x * -1 = 32 * -1
Your resulting equation is:
x = -32

yes it is the same...
e.g.
-x = 32
you multiply both sides by -1,
which will give you
-x (-1) = 32 (-1)
-x (-1) = x,
32 (-1) = -32
therefore -x = 32 is also equal to -32 = x

Yes here is why
-x=32 just multply both sides by -1
Now you have x=-32 and that is the same as the other one making them equal.

They are the same, think of -x as -1x and it might be easier to visualize things.

Yes, cos when you cross multiply, it becomes same
