I'm assuming you need to evaluate/simplify the equation, so you need to isolate/get x by itself in the equation:
2(3x + 1) = 11 Divide by 2 on both sides
3x + 1 = 
[11/2 or 5.5] Subtract by 1 on both sides
[make the denominator the same to combine fractions]
3x = 
Divide by 3 on both sides
x = 
9 on the top as well so 9 x 2 18 3x2 6 3
First, the factor pairs for 18 are:
1, 18
2, 9
3, 6
Since the middle term is -3, the two factors must be 3 apart. The only pair that is 3 values apart is 3, 6.
Since the middle value is negative, the larger number is negative. This means that the 6 is negative.
z = -6
z = 3
Set each equal to 0;
z = -6
z + 6 = 0
z = 3
z - 3 =0
So your factors are (z+6) and (z-3), or answer B.
The answer would be 5x+5y
= -(14w + 8) + 8 = 3
= -14w - 8 + 8 = 3
= -14w = 3
w = -3/14
In short, Your Answer would be -3/14
Hope this helps!
