Solve Linear Equation 70Ae25
1. **Problem:** Solve for $x$ and find the restricted values in the equation $$52x - 16(x-1) = 45(3x-2).$$
2. **Formula and rules:** Use distributive property and combine like terms to simplify both sides.
3. **Step-by-step solution:**
1. Expand both sides:
$$52x - 16x + 16 = 135x - 90$$
2. Combine like terms on the left:
$$36x + 16 = 135x - 90$$
3. Move all $x$ terms to one side and constants to the other:
$$36x - 135x = -90 - 16$$
4. Simplify:
$$-99x = -106$$
5. Solve for $x$:
$$x = \frac{-106}{-99} = \frac{106}{99}$$
4. **Restricted values:** Since the equation is linear and no denominators or square roots are involved, there are no restricted values.
5. **Final answer:**
$$x = \frac{106}{99}$$
