Answer 1

$22x + 70 = 17x - 95$
Move variables to the left by adding their opposites to both sides. Eliminate the opposites.

$22x - 17x + 70 = - 95$
Move constants to the right by adding their opposites to both sides. Eliminate the opposites.

$22x - 17x = - 95 - 70$
Collect the like terms by subtracting their coefficients and numbers.

$5x = - 95 - 70$
Calculate the sum or difference. Extract the negative sign from the expression. Add the numbers.

$5x = - 165$
Divide both sides of the equation by 5 and calculate the quotient.

$x = - 33$
