Answer:
The first answer is that x = 3. The second is that x = 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find either of these, we need to follow the order of operations.
2 + x = 5 ----> Subtract 2 from both sides
x = 3
2(4x - 8) = 32 ----> Distribute
8x - 16 = 32 -----> Add 16 to both sides
8x = 48 -----> Divide both sides by 8
x = 6
