Solve 8x-13x-30x-57x=53x+31x-172

$$8 x - 13 x - 30 x - 57 x = 53 x + 31 x - 172$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{43}{44}\approx 0.977272727$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 8x and -13x to get -5x.

$$-5x-30x-57x=53x+31x-172$$

Combine -5x and -30x to get -35x.

$$-35x-57x=53x+31x-172$$

Combine -35x and -57x to get -92x.

$$-92x=53x+31x-172$$

Combine 53x and 31x to get 84x.

$$-92x=84x-172$$

Subtract 84x from both sides.

$$-92x-84x=-172$$

Combine -92x and -84x to get -176x.

$$-176x=-172$$

Divide both sides by -176.

$$x=\frac{-172}{-176}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-172}{-176} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -4.

$$x=\frac{43}{44}$$
