Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert every fraction to an improper fraction just to make it easier.
43/10 - (12/5x + 11/2) = 1/2 (-18/5x + 6/10)
Distribute.
= 43/10 -12/5x - 11/2 = -18/10x + 6/10
Simplify using the common denominator, which is 10.
43/10 - 24/10x - 55/10 = -18/10 + 6/10
Isolate the x.
-24/10x + 18/10 = -43/10 + 55/10 + 6/10
Simplify.
-6/10x = 18/10
Multiply by the reciprocal (basically dividing fractions)
18/10 x -10/6
= -3
