Question

What is -x - 11 + 3x - 23 = -2 A = 16 B = 18 C = -18 D = -16

Answer 1

To solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the equation:

-x - 11 + 3x - 23 = -2     First combine like terms (terms that have the same variable and power/exponent)

-x + 3x - 11 - 23 = -2   (I rearranged the terms to be next to their like term, so you combine -x and 3x because they have the same variable "x" and an exponent of 1)

2x - 34 = -2     Now add 34 on both sides

2x - 34 + 34 = -2 + 34

2x = 32     Divide 2 on both sides to get "x" by itself

x = 16     Your answer is A
