Answer:

put the value into the equation and do the arithmetic

Explanation:

As with any checking, you put the value where the variable is and do the arithmetic.

7(2x +5) = 11x -9 -x

For x = -11

7(2(-11) +5) = 11(-11) -9 -(-11)

7(-22 +5) = -121 -9 +11

7(-17) = -119

-119 = -119

The value x = -11 makes the equation true.
