Answer:

Simplifying

3x + 77 = 4x + 54

Reorder the terms:

77 + 3x = 4x + 54

Reorder the terms:

77 + 3x = 54 + 4x

Solving

77 + 3x = 54 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

77 + 3x + -4x = 54 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 3x + -4x = -1x

77 + -1x = 54 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

77 + -1x = 54 + 0

77 + -1x = 54

Add '-77' to each side of the equation.

77 + -77 + -1x = 54 + -77

Combine like terms: 77 + -77 = 0

0 + -1x = 54 + -77

-1x = 54 + -77

Combine like terms: 54 + -77 = -23

-1x = -23

Divide each side by '-1'.

x = 23

Simplifying

x = 23

I hope its helps
