$x= 14$

We must isolate the $x$ and we can do that by adding $46$ to both sides.
$cancel(-46+46)+x=-32+46$

$x= 14$

Side Note: If you need to check your work you can take the value you found for $x$ and plug it in into the equation like so:

$-46+14=-32$

$-32=-32$ : This is a true statement so we know our answer is correct.

How do you solve -46+ x = - 32-46+ x = - 32?
