Question

3x - 5 = 7x + 11 x =

Answer 1

Answer:

x= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5=7x+11

3x-5+5=7x+11+5

3x=7x+11+5

3x=7x+16

3x-7x=7x+16-7x

-4=7x+16-7x

-4x=16

divided each side by -4

x= 16 over -4

divide them and you get -4.

Answer:

$3x - 5 = 7x + 11 \\ 7x - 3x = - 11 - 5 \\ 4x = - 16 \\x = - \frac{16}{4} \\ \color{yellow} \boxed{x =-4}$
