First, you would have to do 11x + 3x Since you're combining like terms.

Now your problem is 14x + 40 = -24

Now you would do 40 - -24 which is now 40+24 and equal to 64.

Now you divide 14 by 64 and you get 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\\ \tt{:}\leadsto \frac{2 - 3x}{4 - 8} = \frac{3x}{4} \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 4(2 - 3x) = 3x(4 - 8) \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 - 12x = 3x( - 4) \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 - 2x = - 12x \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 = - 12x + 2x \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto 8 = - 10x \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto x = \frac{ - 10}{8} \\ \\ \tt{:}\leadsto x = \frac{ - 5}{4}$
