- (1)/(2) x-7=-11\


- (1)/(2) x=-11+7 |adding 7 on both sides


- (1)/(2) x*2=-4*2 |multiplying by -2 on both sides


-x = -8 |dividing by -1 on both sides


x = 8

So, the solution is x =8

I'll offer you a deal in return for your 5 points: I'll solve it . . . . You check it.

-1/2x - 7 = -11

Add 7 to each side: -1/2 x = -4

Multiply each side by 2 : - x = -8

Multiply each side by -1 : x = 8

Take it Allalala !
