-86-7x=79%2B4x Start with the given equation.


-7x=79%2B4x%2B86 Add 86 to both sides.


-7x-4x=79%2B86 Subtract 4x from both sides.


-11x=79%2B86 Combine like terms on the left side.


-11x=165 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28165%29%2F%28-11%29 Divide both sides by -11 to isolate x.


x=-15 Reduce.
