Solving for x
**Problem Statement:**

Solve the equation: 

\[
-7.526x + 5.622 = -5.857x + 3.721
\]

Use your graphing calculator for accuracy. Round your final answer to three decimal places.

**Solution:**

1. **Rearrange the Equation:**

   Combine like terms to bring all terms involving \(x\) to one side of the equation:

   \[
   -7.526x + 5.857x = 3.721 - 5.622
   \]

2. **Simplify Both Sides:**

   Simplify the left side:

   \[
   (-7.526 + 5.857)x = (3.721 - 5.622)
   \]

   This becomes:

   \[
   -1.669x = -1.901
   \]

3. **Solve for \(x\):**

   Divide both sides by \(-1.669\) to find \(x\):

   \[
   x = \frac{-1.901}{-1.669}
   \]

4. **Use a Graphing Calculator:**

   Input the simplified equation into a graphing calculator to find the precise value of \(x\).

5. **Round the Answer:**

   Once you have the calculated result, round it to three decimal places.

**Final Answer:**

\[ 
x = \boxed{1.139}  \]

**Note:** Ensure to use a calculator for accurate results and follow these steps to practice solving linear equations systematically.
