let x equal the number.
your equation becomes -52 * (x-97) = x + 39
simplify to get -52 * x + 5044 = x + 39
add 52 * x to both sides of this equation and subtract 39 from both sides of this equation to get:
5044 - 39 = x + 52 * x
simplify to get 5005 = 53 * x
divide both sides of this equation by 53 to get:
x = 5005 / 53 = 94.43396226
confirm by replacing x in the original equation of -52 * (x - 97) = x + 39.
you will see that the equation is true, which confirms that the solution is good.
