Question

5(x+6)+11=25-3x what is the answer?

Answer 1

This is how I did it:
$5(x + 6) + 11 = 25 - 3x$          use distribution
$5x + 30 + 11 = 25 - 3x$          use addition
$5x + 41 = 25 - 3x$                  use addition and subtraction
$8x = -16$                                use division
$x = -16/8$
$x = -2$

So your answer is $x = -2$
