The elkins act and the hepburn act regulated railroads by
outlawing kickbacks to the smallest companies and setting higher railroad rates.
outlawing rebates to the largest customers and setting railroad rates.
outlawing tax breaks to the largest railroads and changing railroad rates.
outlawing tax breaks to the smallest companies and raising railroad rates.

1.3x - 2 - (3.3x + 5) = 2x + 1

1.3x - 2 - 3.3x - 5 = 2x + 1

-2x - 7 = 2x + 1

-7 = 4x + 1

-8 = 4x

x = -2
