Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

f(x) = 5x + -3(3x + 7)

Multiply f * x

fx = 5x + -3(3x + 7)

Reorder the terms:

fx = 5x + -3(7 + 3x)

fx = 5x + (7 * -3 + 3x * -3)

fx = 5x + (-21 + -9x)

Reorder the terms:

fx = -21 + 5x + -9x

Combine like terms: 5x + -9x = -4x

fx = -21 + -4x

Solving

fx = -21 + -4x

Solving for variable 'f'.

Move all terms containing f to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by 'x'.

f = -21x-1 + -4

Simplifying

f = -21x-1 + -4

Reorder the terms:

f = -4 + -21x-1

X(7x+3)=0
x=0
or
7x=-3
x=-3/7

so,
(0,0) or (-3/7,0)

- x - x + 11 - 2x = 83 please show step by step!!

Answer:

$x=-18$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$-x-x+11-2x=83$

Step 1: Combine Like Terms on LHS

$-x-x+11-2x=83\\-2x+11-2x=83\\-4x+11=83$

Step 2: Subtract 11 on both sides

$-4x+11=83\\-4x+11-11=83-11\\-4x=72$

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4 to isolate the x-variable

$-4x=72\\\\\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{72}{-4}\\ \\ x=-18$

Final Answer

$x=-18$
