Answer:

Error: +3x should be -3x

x should equal 3

Explanation:

In this problem, you have to pay attention how values are transferred from one side to the other. This includes paying attention t the signs.

In 3x + 4 = 8x - 11, you want to try an keep all the values positive

3x + 4 = 8x - 11

- 3x - 3x

4 = 5x - 11

+11 +11 <--This part of the equation was correct.

15 = 5x

/5 /5 <--This part of the equation should result in dividing by 5

3 = x

Hope this helps!
