2x%2B66=7x%2B11 Start with the given equation.


2x=7x%2B11-66 Subtract 66 from both sides.


2x-7x=11-66 Subtract 7x from both sides.


-5x=11-66 Combine like terms on the left side.


-5x=-55 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-55%29%2F%28-5%29 Divide both sides by -5 to isolate x.


x=11 Reduce.
