If 5x + 32 = 4 - 2X, what is the value of X? I need the steps on how to complete this problem.

The steps:
1) add \(\displaystyle 2x\) to both sides
2) subtract \(\displaystyle 32\) from both sides.

Starting with:
5x+32=4-2x
Add 2x to both sides
5x+2x+32=4-2x+2x
7x+32=4
Subtract 32 from both sides
7x+32-32=4-32
7x=-28
Divide each side by 7
(7x)/7=(-28)/7
x=-4
