This excerpt is using personification. Personification is giving human traits or characteristics to something that is non human. The sea does not actually have lips but the author writes "the sea licked its greedy lips..".

3x+7=x - 15 i dont know how to solve it <br> the answer is -11 but i dont know how to get to that
SSSSS [86.1K]
3x + 7 = x - 15

First, make sure to subtract x from both sides.
3x + 7 - x = -15
Second, simplify 3x - x to get 2x, and then keep the 7.
2x + 7 = -15
Third, subtract 7 from both sides. 
2x = -15 - 7
Fourth, simplify -15 - 7 to get -22.
2x = -22
Fifth, take the 2 and divide both sides by it, keeping the x by itself.
x = - \frac{22}{2}
Sixth, since 11 goes into 2 to get 22, simplify the fraction to 11.
x = -11

Answer: x = -11
