Hello!

Answer:


\boxed{x=-(1)/(11)}, \boxed{x=-0.09}\checkmark

Explanation:

First, you do group like terms to switch sides.

34x-12x+5=3

Then add similar into elemenets.

34x-12x=22x

22x+5=3

You subtract by 5 from both sides of an equation.

22x+5-5=3-5

Simplify.

22x=-2

Divide by 22 from both sides of an equation.

22x/2=-2/22

Simplify and solve.

x=-1/11 or x=-0.09 is the final answer.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Have a nice day! :)
