Question

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

Answer 1

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

$x=-18$

Answer 2

Answer: x = -18

Step-by-step explanation: The first step can be changed but I decided to subtract 11 on both sides so that the x’s are found on one aside and the numbers are found on the other. Then in the second step, I combined like terms, the x’s. Then I divided both sides by -4 to cancel out the -4 next to the x and 72/(-4) is -18.
