9\times 5x=5\left(x-32\right)
Multiply both sides of the equation by 45, the least common multiple of 5,9.
45x=5\left(x-32\right)
Multiply 9 and 5 to get 45.
45x=5x-160
Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x-32.
45x-5x=-160
Subtract 5x from both sides.
40x=-160
Combine 45x and -5x to get 40x.
x=\frac{-160}{40}
Divide both sides by 40.
x=-4
Divide -160 by 40 to get -4.
