\frac{9}{5}x+32-x=0
Subtract x from both sides.
\frac{4}{5}x+32=0
Combine \frac{9}{5}x and -x to get \frac{4}{5}x.
\frac{4}{5}x=-32
Subtract 32 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=-32\times \frac{5}{4}
Multiply both sides by \frac{5}{4}, the reciprocal of \frac{4}{5}.
x=\frac{-32\times 5}{4}
Express -32\times \frac{5}{4} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{-160}{4}
Multiply -32 and 5 to get -160.
x=-40
Divide -160 by 4 to get -40.
