Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−45−25)x
Subtract the numbers
−70x
−669−70x
−669−70x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−70x=0+669
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−70x=669
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
70x=−669
Divide both sides
7070x=70−669
Divide the numbers
x=70−669
