Question 716926
{{{8(6x-5)+7(7x-6)-5=7-3}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{48x-40+49x-42-5=7-3}}} Distribute.



{{{97x-87=7-3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{97x-87=4}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{97x=4+87}}} Add {{{87}}} to both sides.



{{{97x=91}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(91)/(97)}}} Divide both sides by {{{97}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=91/97}}}
