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

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

Solve for x

$$x=1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 8x and -15x to get -7x.

$$-7x-30x-51x=53x+31-172$$

Combine -7x and -30x to get -37x.

$$-37x-51x=53x+31-172$$

Combine -37x and -51x to get -88x.

$$-88x=53x+31-172$$

Subtract 172 from 31 to get -141.

$$-88x=53x-141$$

Subtract 53x from both sides.

$$-88x-53x=-141$$

Combine -88x and -53x to get -141x.

$$-141x=-141$$

Divide both sides by -141.

$$x=\frac{-141}{-141}$$

Divide -141 by -141 to get 1.

$$x=1$$
