[tex]\huge\text{Hey there!}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{x + 32 = 40}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Subtract by 32 to both sides:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{x + 32 - 32 = 40 - 32}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Simplify it:}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{x = 40 - 32}[/tex]
[tex]\mathsf{x = 8}[/tex]
[tex]\large\text{Therefore, your answer should be:}[/tex]
[tex]\large\boxed{\mathsf{x }\frak{\ = 8}}\large\checkmark[/tex]
