$x= -11$

$5−3x=4x+82$

$-3x-4x=82-5$

$(-7x)/(-7)=77/ (-7)$

$x= -11$

combine like terms and solve for x

$x =-11$

$5-3x = 4x + 82$

$5 -3x -4x = 4x -4x + 82" "$ This gives

$5 - 7x = 82" "$ subtract 5 from both sides

$5 -5 - 7x = 82 -5 " "$ This gives

$-7x = 77" "$ divide both sides by $-7$

$(-7x)/-7 = 77/-7$ so

$x = - 11$
