The equation is 53x + 113 = -43.

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we need to subtract 113 from both sides:

53x + 113 - 113 = -43 - 113

This simplifies to:

53x = -156

Now, we need to divide both sides by 53 to solve for x:

53x/53 = -156/53

This simplifies to:

x = -3
5/3-11/3
