Question 459226
{{{156x-500x+689=509}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-344x+689=509}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-344x=509-689}}} Subtract {{{689}}} from both sides.



{{{-344x=-180}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-180)/(-344)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-344}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=45/86}}} Reduce.
