Answer:


x = - 28

Explanation:

1) Subtract 11x from both sides.


- 12 = 16 + 12x - 11x

2) Simplify 16 + 12x - 11x to 16 + x.


- 12 = 16 + x

3) Subtract 16 from both sides.


- 12 - 16 = x

4) Simplify -12 -16 to -28.


- 28 = x

5) Switch sides.


x = - 28

so, therefor, the answer is x = -28.
