Solve 77-5x+2+8x=-4x+3+x

$$77 - 5 x + 2 + 8 x = - 4 x + 3 + x$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{38}{3} = -12\frac{2}{3} \approx -12.666666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 77 and 2 to get 79.

$$79-5x+8x=-4x+3+x$$

Combine -5x and 8x to get 3x.

$$79+3x=-4x+3+x$$

Combine -4x and x to get -3x.

$$79+3x=-3x+3$$

Add 3x to both sides.

$$79+3x+3x=3$$

Combine 3x and 3x to get 6x.

$$79+6x=3$$

Subtract 79 from both sides.

$$6x=3-79$$

Subtract 79 from 3 to get -76.

$$6x=-76$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$x=\frac{-76}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-76}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=-\frac{38}{3}$$
