Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we distribute 4 in 3x+2:

$\displaystyle \large{4(3x+2)=11x+18}\\\displaystyle \large{4(3x)+4(2)=11x+18}\\\displaystyle \large{12x+8=11x+18}$

Then subtract both sides by 11x and 8 so we can combine like terms.

$\displaystyle \large{12x+8-11x-8=11x+18-11x-8}\\\displaystyle \large{x=10}$

Therefore, x = 10
