Are you trying to find x?
If so,
get all x's to one side, 32=8x-8,
then get x alone... 40= 8x
then divide by 8... 5=x
So at x=5,
4x+32=12x-8

4x+32=-4x+16x4x+32=12x-4x -4x32=8x/8 /84=x
x=5
OK, SO 4x = 12x + 32.SO 4x -12x-12x-12x+32 (subtract 12x from each side to get x on one side)SO -8x = 32 (simplify)SO -1 (-8x) = 32 (-1) (multiply each side by -1)SO 8x -32 (simplify)SO 8x / 8 = -32/8 (divide each side by eight (8) to get ""X"" by itself)SO x= -4SO x = -4.Does that help?Hope that helps!
y = 5 - 2x so 4x + 6(5 - 2x) = -2 ie 4x + 30 - 12x = -2 Subtract 30 from each side: 4x - 12x = -32 ie -8x = -32 so x = 4 and y = -3
