Question

Solve 7x + 5 = 3x – 11 then x =

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 5 = 3x - 11

7x - 3x = -11 - 5

4x = -16

x= -16/4

x = - 4.

Hope it helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

$7x + 5 = 3x -11$

To find:- The value of the expression,

To solve this expression, we have to use the transposition method:  

As we have,

=> $7x + 5 = 3x -11$

Subtract both sides by $3$, we get

=> $7x + 5-3 = 3x -11-3$

=> $7x = 3x - 16$

Subtract both sides by $3x$, we get

=> $7x -3x= 3x - 16-3x$

=> $4x = - 16$

Divide both sides by $4$,

=> $x = -4$

Hence, the required solution is -4.
