Question

-11 + x =-7x -8(-x+1)

Answer 1

Step 1. Regroup terms

$-11+x=-7x-8(1-x)$

Step 2. Regroup terms

$x-11=-7x-8(1-x)$

Step 3. Expand

$x-11=-7x-8+8x$

Step 4. Simplify $-7x-8+8x$ to $x-8$

$x-11=8-x$

Step 5. Cancel $x$ on both sides

$-11=-8$

Step 6. Since $-11=-8$ is false, there is no solution.

no solution

Done!
