Answer:

You can't really use substitution for this problem b/c there is nothing to substitute.

Explanation:

56x+23930=97x+16693

Subtract 23930 from both sides:

56x+23930-23930=97x+16693-23930

simplify:

56x=97x-7237

subtract 97x from both sides:

56x-97x=97x-7237-97x

Simplify:

-41x=-7237

Divide both sides by -41

-41x/-41=-7237/-41

Simplify:

x=7237/41
