\[7-83=176-5x\times 2\]
Simplify \(5x\times 2\) to \(10x\).
\[7-83=176-10x\]
Simplify \(7-83\) to \(-76\).
\[-76=176-10x\]
Subtract \(176\) from both sides.
\[-76-176=-10x\]
Simplify \(-76-176\) to \(-252\).
\[-252=-10x\]
Divide both sides by \(-10\).
\[\frac{-252}{-10}=x\]
Two negatives make a positive.
\[\frac{252}{10}=x\]
Simplify \(\frac{252}{10}\) to \(\frac{126}{5}\).
\[\frac{126}{5}=x\]
Switch sides.
\[x=\frac{126}{5}\]
Decimal Form: 25.2
x=126/5
