Answer:

x=-2

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(x+6)+11=25−3x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(x+6)+11=25−3x

(5)(x)+(5)(6)+11=25+−3x(Distribute)

5x+30+11=25+−3x

(5x)+(30+11)=−3x+25(Combine Like Terms)

5x+41=−3x+25

5x+41=−3x+25

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

5x+41+3x=−3x+25+3x

8x+41=25

Step 3: Subtract 41 from both sides.

8x+41−41=25−41

8x=−16

Step 4: Divide both sides by 8.

8x

8

=

−16

8
