Answer: x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression we have is:


-4x+7=11

To solve for x we do the following.

Step 1: substract 7 from both sides of the equation


-4x+7-7=11-7

So that the +7 and -7 on the left side are cancelled


-4x=4

Step 2: Divide both sides of the equation by -4:


(-4x)/(-4)=(4)/(-4)

in the left side we are left with x, and in the right side with -1:


x=-1
