Solve for x -x+4=32

$- x + 4 = 32$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $4$ from both sides of the equation.

$- x = 32 - 4$

Subtract $4$ from $32$ .

$- x = 28$

Step 2

Divide each term in $- x = 28$ by $- 1$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- x = 28$ by $- 1$ .

$\frac{- x}{- 1} = \frac{28}{- 1}$

Simplify the left side.

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$\frac{x}{1} = \frac{28}{- 1}$

Divide $x$ by $1$ .

$x = \frac{28}{- 1}$

Simplify the right side.

Divide $28$ by $- 1$ .

$x = - 28$
