6x+5x-4=2x-8~~~First we simplify(add 6x and 5x)
11x-4=2x-8~~~Now add 4 to both sides
+4 +4
11x=2x-4~~~~Remove 2x from both sides now.
-2x -2x
9x=-4~~~~Now divide by 9x
÷9x ÷9x

x= -4/9

6x + 5x - 4 = 2x - 8
11x - 4 = 2x - 8
11x - 4 (-2x) = 2x - 8 (-2x)
9x - 4 = -8
9x - 4 (+4) = -8 (+4)
9x = -4
9x (/9) = -4 (/9)
x =
- (4)/(9)
