-4x + 7 = 11
First, subtract 7 from both sides. / Your problem should look like:
Second, subtract 11 - 7. / Your problem should look like:
Third, divide both sides by -4. / Your problem should look like:
Fourth, change the fraction to a negative. / Your problem should look like:
Fifth, cancel 4 out. / Your problem should look like:

Answer:
x = -1
Do you mean 7?
You need to multiply each like term differently ( 1. Coefficient, 2. M term, 3. N term, and 4. O term)
1. The coefficients are 4 and 7, and as you have already solved, that equals to 28.
2. The m terms are (m • m) because there is one m in (4mno) and one m in (mn). m • m would equal to m^2.
3. The n terms are (n • n^2 •n) because there is one n in (4mno), n^2 in (7n^2o^2), and one n in (mn). They would equal n^4.
4. The o term would stay as o^2 as there are not other o terms.
To piece it all together, your answer would be 28m^2n^4o^2, or 28 • m ^2 • n^4 • o^2.
proving statements!
it's the very definition of it
The number is x
it is negative
the square is 28 more than 3 times itself
x²=28+3x
minus (28+3x)
x²-3x-28=0
factor
(x-7)(x+4)=0
set to zero
x-7=0
x=7
this is not the answer because we were told the number was negative
x+4=0
x=-4
correct
the number is -4
test
(-4)²=28+3(-4)
16=28-12
16=16
check
the number is -4
