Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify

x - 54 + 32x = 53

Step 2: Solve for x

1. Combine like terms:                                                                                         33x - 54 = 53
2. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 52 on both sides:                                  33x = 107
3. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 33 on both sides:                               x = 107/33
4. Simplify:                                                                                                             x = 3 8/22
