96(х - 1) - (7х - 64) = 38(2 - x) + 3(17 + 2x) + 83

96(х - 1) - (7х - 64) = 38(2 - x) + 3(17 + 2x) + 83

Simplify the equation step by step:

96х - 96 - 7х + 64 = 76 - 38x + 51 + 6x + 83

Combine like terms:

89х - 32 = 127 - 32x

Bring x terms to one side:

89х + 32x = 127 + 32

Combine x terms:

121x = 159

Finally:

x = 159/121
