X=15
Because if you subtract 4 you have to do it to the other side so it makes it -15
Then you subtract 2x-3x which = -1x
So you have -1x=-15
Finally you multiply the 1 times it’s self and onto 15 and then you end up with x=15

Answer:

x = 15

Explanation:

1. Combine like terms

2x - 3x = -x

2. Rewrite original equation

-x + 4 = -11

3. Subtract four from both sides of the equation.

-x + 4 = -11

- 4 - 4

-x = - 15

4. Divide by -1 on both sides to get rid of the negative signs:

x = 15
