Question 243673


{{{4(3x+x)+7-5x=8-5(5x-6x)+23}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{12x+4x+7-5x=8-25x+30x+23}}} Distribute.



{{{11x+7=8-25x+30x+23}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{11x+7=5x+31}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{11x=5x+31-7}}} Subtract {{{7}}} from both sides.



{{{11x-5x=31-7}}} Subtract {{{5x}}} from both sides.



{{{6x=31-7}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{6x=24}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(24)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by {{{6}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
