Simplify. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other. Follow PEMDAS.
Isolate the x.
First, distribute 6 to all terms within the parenthesis
6(-3) = -18
6(4x) = 24x
7x - 18 + 24x = 199
Simplify. Combine like terms
31x - 18 = 199
Isolate the x. Add 18 to both sides
31x - 18 (+18) = 199 (+18)
31x = 199 + 18
31x = 217
Isolate the x. Divide 31 from both sides
31x/31 = 217/31
x = 217/31
x = 7
7 is your answer for x
hope this helps

3 : 1, or 3 to 1, thus 3 times as many.
Since EF=FG, you can set 6x - 10 = to 3x + 11

Then add like terms

so,

Now you can divide by 3 to get

:)
then put it back into


so,
