Answer: x=-5

Explanation:

Distribute

6(x+3)-1(x+4)=-11

6x+ 18-1(x+4)=-11

6x +18-x-4=-11

Subtract the numbers

6x +18-x-4=-11

6x +14-x=-11

Combine like terms

6x +14-x=-11

5x +14=-11

subtract 14 from both sides of the equation

5x +14=-11

5x +=14-14 = -11 -14

simplify

5x=-25

divide both sides

x=-5
