Explanation:

1. Combine similar terms and use the equality properties to get the variable on one side of the equals sign and the numbers on the other side. Remember to respect the order of operations.

2. Add 11 to both sides of the equation.

3. Use the absolute value definition.

4. Add 3 to both sides of the equation.

5. Divide both sides by 2.

6. The answer is: x=7

x=−4
