Solve the equation.
−10x + 1 + 7x = 37

You combine like terms which are -10x and 7x and 1 and 37. Then it becomes -3x=36. x would equal to 36/-3, which is -12.

−10x+1+7x=37

Simplify both sides of the equation.

−10x+1+7x=37

Simplify:

−10x+1+7x=37

(−10x+7x)+(1)=37(Combine Like Terms)

−3x+1=37

−3x+1=37

Subtract 1 from both sides.

−3x+1−1=37−1

−3x=36

Divide both sides by -3.

−3x/−3 = 36/−3

x=−12
