Answer:
x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
12x+11−5x=5x−3−5x
7x+11=−3
Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides.
7x+11−11=−3−11
7x=−14
Step 3: Divide both sides by 7.
7x -14
7 = 7
x=−2
Answer:
x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
you must get the variables on the same side first.
so 5x becomes negative 5x
those cancel each other out and now you have to do 12x - 5x. that gives you 7x. now you have 7x+11=-3. subtract 11 on both sides. -3-11= -14. now divide both sides by negative 7 and you have your answer.
