This is the steps for equation solving for the value of x, x/3-7 = 11 now 7 goes to the other side of equation by changing the sign from - to +, x/3 = 11 + 7 x/3 = 18 now when we multiply both sides of equation with 3 or 3 goes to the other side of equation and multiply with 18 leaving x alone here for finding the value of x, and we get, x = 54 at the end of equation we get x = 54, if the equation was in the form 3x - 7 = 11, then we will get x = 6
