Answer:

x=2.05

Explanation:

To solve for x, we start by adding 2 to both sides of the equation:

53x - 2 + 2 = 43 + 31x - 1 + 2

53x = 45 + 31x

Then, we subtract 31x from both sides of the equation:

53x - 31x = 45 + 31x - 31x

22x = 45

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 22:

22x/22 = 45/22

x = 2.05

Therefore, the value of x is 2.05.
