To solve this algebraic expression, we first need to develop the values inside the parenthesis:

32x - 5(x + 3) - 11x

Multiply (x+3) by -5:

32*x - 5*x - 5*3 - 11*x

This will transform in:

32x -5x -15 - 11x

Then, add (or subtract similar terms), that is:

32x - 5x - 11x -15

32x - 16x -15

16x -15

The answer to your question is:

32x - 5(x + 3) - 11x = 16x - 15
