Explanation:

multiply all for 11

4x+23(11)=11x-19(11)

4x+253=11x-209

4x-11x=-209-253

Solve for x by rearranging the equation.
x = 66

Explanation:

Move the like terms to one side. What you do to one side of the equation is done to the other.

  • 19 + 23 = -4/11+x
    Note: to match the fraction, x=1, so x is also 11/11.
  • 42 = 7/11
    From here you solve for x by dividing/multiplying by 7/11 to isolate the x.
  • x = 42( 11/7)
  • x = 66
