-11x -44 + 10 x =27

-x = 71

x = - 71

Answer 2

Answer:

-71

Step-by-step explanation:

You can first distribute the numbers in the parenthesis.

-11x-44 (-11*x-11*4)

-11x-44+10x=27

You can now combine like terms.

-11x+10x=-1x

-1x-44=27

This is now a two-step equation problem.

-1x-44=27

    +44=+44

     -1x=71

       $\frac{-1x}{-1}$ =$\frac{71}{-1}$

x=-71
