Answer: x = -37

First step, multiple both sides by both of the denominator to cancel out the bottom. This then would leave you with just the numerator.
Second step, combine like terms.
Third step, divide both sides by the number next to x.
Fourth step, if needed, simplify, otherwise, just write down the answer!
