Solve for x. 7 + 11x + 60 = -13 + 3x

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

7 + 11x + 60 = -13 + 3x

Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>

Combine like terms: 11x + 67 = -13 + 3x
Subtract 3x on both sides: 8x + 67 = -13
Subtract 67 on both sides: 8x = -80
Divide both sides by 8: x = -10

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>

7 + 11(-10) + 60 = -13 + 3(-10)

67 - 110 = -13 - 30

-43 = -43
