Explanation

SAMDEB

1. Add 4 to both sides 3x -4 + 4 = 11 +4

2. 3x = 15

3. Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x 3x/3 = 15/3

4. x = 5

Answer 2

Answer is 5

Since the 4 is negative, add 4 to both sides which makes it 3x=15 because 11+4=15. 15/3 is 5. If the 4 was positive, you would subtract 4 from both sides, you just have to make that number zero.
