Answer:

x = 5

Explanation:

The given expression is -2(x + 6) + 3 = -11x + 4(x + 4)

Now we have to solve this expression to evaluate the value of x.

-(2x + 12) + 3 = -11x + 4x + 16

-2x - 12 + 3 = - 11x + 4x + 16

-2x + ( -12 + 3) = (-11x + 4x) + 16

-2x - 9 = - 7x + 16

-2x - 9 + 7x = 16

5x - 9 = 16

5x = 16 + 9

5x = 25

x =
(25)/(5)

x = 5

Therefore, x = 5 is the answer.
