Solve 8x-15-30x-51x=53x+31x-172

$$8 x - 15 - 30 x - 51 x = 53 x + 31 x - 172$$

Solve for x

$$x=1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 8x and -30x to get -22x.

$$-22x-15-51x=53x+31x-172$$

Combine -22x and -51x to get -73x.

$$-73x-15=53x+31x-172$$

Combine 53x and 31x to get 84x.

$$-73x-15=84x-172$$

Subtract 84x from both sides.

$$-73x-15-84x=-172$$

Combine -73x and -84x to get -157x.

$$-157x-15=-172$$

Add 15 to both sides.

$$-157x=-172+15$$

Add -172 and 15 to get -157.

$$-157x=-157$$

Divide both sides by -157.

$$x=\frac{-157}{-157}$$

Divide -157 by -157 to get 1.

$$x=1$$
