Question

What Is The Value Of X In The Following Equation? 3x-4(x+1)+11=0

A. 8

B. 7

C. 15

D. 22

Answer 1

B) 7

Explanation:

Subtract 11 by both sides

3x - 4(x + 1) + 11 - 11 = 0 - 11

Simplify

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

Distribute 4

3x - 4x - 4 = -11

Add 4 to both sides and combine like terms

-x - 4 + 4 = -11 + 4

-x = -7

Divide both sides by -1

x = 7
