Answer:
x = -53/8
Step-by-step explanation:
6(2x + 7) = 5x - 11 - x
12x + 42 = 5x -11 - x (Distributive property)
12x + 42 = 4x - 11 (Subtraction property)
8x + 42 = -11 (Subtraction Property)
8x = -53 (Subtraction Property)
x = -53/8
Answer:
x = -53/8

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
6(2x + 7) = 5x - 11 - x
Step 2: Solve for x
- Combine like terms: 6(2x + 7) = 4x - 11
- Distribute 6: 12x + 42 = 4x - 11
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4x on both sides: 8x + 42 = -11
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 42 on both sides: 8x = -53
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 8 on both sides: x = -53/8
