Answer:
add the 11 to both sides to cancel it out.
Step-by-step explanation:
so basically
5x - 11 + 11 = 42 +11
5x = 53
-3 + -17 = -(3+17) = -20
Note:
When adding 2 negatives, you add the numbers and put a minus sign in front of your answer, when adding a positive and a negative number, always put the positive number first and then remove the + sign and subtract.
