Hey!

-------------------------------------------------

Steps To Solve:

5x + 5 - 3x + 11 = 3​

~Combine Like Terms

2x + 16 = 3

~Subtract 16 to both sides

2x + 16 - 16 = 3 - 16

~Simplify

2x = -13

~Divide 2 to both sides

2x/2 = -13/2

-------------------------------------------------

Hence, x equals -13/2 or -6.5

-------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
