Isolate x term: First, we want to isolate the term containing x on one side of the equation. To do this, we subtract 15 from both sides of the equation.85−15=(1110)x+15−15$\(70\) = \left(\frac{\(10\)}{\(11\)}\right)x
Get \(x\) by itself: Now, we need to get \(x\) by itself. To do this, we multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of \((10/11)\), which is \((11/10)\).\[(11/10) \times 70 = x\]\[77 = x\]
