Solve 17x-48x-111=2x+43-4x

$$17x-48x-111=2x+43-4x$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{154}{29} = -5\frac{9}{29} \approx -5.310344828$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 17x and -48x to get -31x.

$$-31x-111=2x+43-4x$$

Combine 2x and -4x to get -2x.

$$-31x-111=-2x+43$$

Add 2x to both sides.

$$-31x-111+2x=43$$

Combine -31x and 2x to get -29x.

$$-29x-111=43$$

Add 111 to both sides.

$$-29x=43+111$$

Add 43 and 111 to get 154.

$$-29x=154$$

Divide both sides by -29.

$$x=\frac{154}{-29}$$

Fraction \frac{154}{-29} can be rewritten as -\frac{154}{29} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{154}{29}$$
