Add/subtract common factors.

3 - 11 + 4x = -32

-8 + 4x = -32

4x = -32 + 8

4x = -24

Then, isolate the x by using division/multiplication. But for this problem, use division.

x = -24 / 4

x = -6

ANSWER:

3 + 4x - 11 = -32 well were going to move all the x numbers on one side and the naked numbers on the other.

4x = -32 + 11 -3 remember when u change sides you have to change its symbol if its negative it turns to a positive and if its positive it turns to a negative.

4x = - 24 now were going to divide bc 4x means 4 times x and if we want to change its side we gotta change its symbol division goes to multiplication while multiplication goes to division

x= -24/4

x= -6 is the answer
