32\left(25+x\right)=x\times 58
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 32x, the least common multiple of x,32.
800+32x=x\times 58
Use the distributive property to multiply 32 by 25+x.
800+32x-x\times 58=0
Subtract x\times 58 from both sides.
800-26x=0
Combine 32x and -x\times 58 to get -26x.
-26x=-800
Subtract 800 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-800}{-26}
Divide both sides by -26.
x=\frac{400}{13}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-800}{-26} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
