To solve the equation \( 23x - 14x - 11 = 781 \), follow these steps:
Combine like terms on the left side: \[ (23x - 14x) - 11 = 781 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9x - 11 = 781 \]
Add 11 to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \): \[ 9x - 11 + 11 = 781 + 11 \] This simplifies to: \[ 9x = 792 \]
Now, divide both sides by 9 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{792}{9} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ x = 88 \]
Thus, the solution to the equation is \( x = 88 \).
