Question

Solve for x please help (show work)

Answer 1

`\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:3x \: + \: 8x \: - \: 3 \: = \: - 25`

`\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:11x \: - \: 3 \: = \: - 25`

`\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:11x \: = \: - 25 \: + \: 3`

`\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:11x \: = \: - 22`

`\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \: x \: = \: {\cancel\frac{ {- 22} \:^( - 2) }{11}} \\`

`\large\bf{\pink{ \longrightarrow \: }} \tt \:x \: = \: - 2`

Answer 2

x=-2

Explanation:

3x+8x - 3 = -25

Combine like terms

11x -3 = -25

Add 3 to each side

11x -3+3 = -25+3

11x = -22

Divide by 11

11x/11 = -22/11

x = -2
