Answer:

x = -7 / 6

Step-by-step explanation:

−3−6(4x+6)=−11

  • Simplify both sides of the equation

−3−6(4x+6)=−11

−3+(−6)(4x)+(−6)(6)=−11 (Distribute)

−3+−24x+−36=−11

(−24x)+(−3+−36)=−11 (Combine Like Terms)

−24x+−39=−11

−24x−39=−11

  • Add 39 to both sides

−24x−39+39=−11+39

−24x=28

  • Divide both sides by -24

-24x/-24=28/-24

x = -7 / 6
