Question

Solve for x.
-23=3x+9-11x

Answer 1

Answer:
`x=4`

Explanation:

You need to solve for the variable x to find its value:

Add like terms:

`-23=3x+9-11x\\-23=-8x+9`

Apply the Subtraction property of equality, subtract 9 from both sides of the equation:

`-23-(9)=-8x+9-(9)\\\\-32=-8x`

Now, applying the Division property of equality, you can divide both sides of the equation by -8. Then you get:

`(-32)/(-8)=(-8x)/(-8)\\\\x=4`
