Answer:
Simplifying
2x + -7x + 16 = 86
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x + -7x = 86
Combine like terms: 2x + -7x = -5x
16 + -5x = 86
Solving
16 + -5x = 86
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + -5x = 86 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -5x = 86 + -16
-5x = 86 + -16
Combine like terms: 86 + -16 = 70
-5x = 70
Divide each side by '-5'.
x = -14
Simplifying
x = -14
