Simplify

2 x - 32 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(2 - 32) x

Subtract the numbers

- 30 x

- 30 x - \frac{5}{2} = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 30 x = 0 + \frac{5}{2}

Add the terms

- 30 x = \frac{5}{2}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

30 x = - \frac{5}{2}

Multiply by the reciprocal

30 x \times \frac{1}{30} = - \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{30}

Multiply

x = - \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{30}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

- \frac{5}{2} \times \frac{1}{30}

Reduce the numbers

- \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{6}

To multiply the fractions,multiply the numerators and denominators separately

- \frac{1}{2 \times 6}

Multiply the numbers

- \frac{1}{12}

x = - \frac{1}{12}
