Hi there!
Let's solve this equation step by step!
[tex]5x - 44x + 7 = 1311[/tex]
First we collect terms on the left side. Subtract the 44x from the 5x.
[tex] - 39x + 7 = 1311[/tex]
Now subtract 7 from both sides of the equation.
[tex] - 39x = 1304[/tex]
And finally divide both sides of the equation by -39, in order to isolate the variable x.
[tex]x = \frac{1304}{ - 39} = - 33.435...[/tex]
The answer is about -33.4
~ Hope this helps you!
