2x-7%2B4x=x-32 Start with the given equation.


6x-7=x-32 Combine like terms on the left side.


6x=x-32%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


6x-x=-32%2B7 Subtract x from both sides.


5x=-32%2B7 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=-25 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-25%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.


x=-5 Reduce.
