Question

Solve for x. please help !

Answer 1

x= -2

Explanation:

First you combine the like terms 3x and 8x which then gives you 11x

then you'll have 11x-3=-25

add 3 to both sides and you have 11x=-22

divide the 11 on both sides

then you'll have x=-2

Answer 2

-2

Explanation:

3x + 8x - 3 = -25

Move the -3 over to the other side. This will make the -3 into positive 3

3x + 8x = -25 + 3

Now add like terms

11x = -22

Divide both sides by 11 to get x by itself

x = -2
