4x%2B6-7x=-46 Start with the given equation.


-3x%2B6=-46 Combine like terms on the left side.


-3x=-46-6 Subtract 6 from both sides.


-3x=-52 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-52%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=52%2F3 Reduce.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:

So the solution is x=52%2F3 which approximates to x=17.333.
