Simplify

7 x - 53 x

Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients

(7 - 53) x

Subtract the numbers

- 46 x

- 46 x - 2 = 0

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 46 x = 0 + 2

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 46 x = 2

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

46 x = - 2

Divide both sides

\frac{46 x}{46} = \frac{- 2}{46}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 2}{46}

Solution

More Steps

Evaluate

\frac{- 2}{46}

Cancel out the common factor 2

\frac{- 1}{23}

Use \frac{- a}{b} = \frac{a}{- b} = - \frac{a}{b} to rewrite the fraction

- \frac{1}{23}

x = - \frac{1}{23}
