Question

$$-36x-108x+96x=24-72+144$$

Solve for x

$x=-2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $-36x$ and $-108x$ to get $-144x$.

$$-144x+96x=24-72+144$$

Combine $-144x$ and $96x$ to get $-48x$.

$$-48x=24-72+144$$

Subtract $72$ from $24$ to get $-48$.

$$-48x=-48+144$$

Add $-48$ and $144$ to get $96$.

$$-48x=96$$

Divide both sides by $-48$.

$$x=\frac{96}{-48}$$

Divide $96$ by $-48$ to get $-2$.

$$x=-2$$
