Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

I don’t really have an explanation, it was all mental math

Answer 2

• 
  `\sf x=2`

Explanation:

`\sf 2(4-x)-3(x+3)=-11`

Expand:-

• 
  `\sf 2\left(4-x\right)-3\left(x+3\right)`
• 
  `\sf 8-2x-3\left(x+3\right)`
• 
  `\sf 8-2x-3x-9`
• 
  `\sf -5x-1`

• 
  `\sf -5x-1=-11`

Now, add 1 to both sides:-

• 
  `\sf -5x-1+1=-11+1`

• 
  `\sf -5x=-10`

Divide both sides by -5:-

• 
  `\sf \cfrac{-5x}{-5}=\cfrac{-10}{-5}`

• 
  `\sf x=2`

Therefore, the value of x is 2!
