Question

2x + 7= -11 please help

Answer 1

x = -9

Explanation:

2x + 7 = -11

(2x + 7) - 7 = -11 - 7

2x = -18

(2x)/2 = -18/2

x = -9

Answer 2

x = -9

Explanation:

You are solving for x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First, subtract 7 from both sides:

2x + 7 (-7) = -11 (-7)

2x = -11 - 7

2x = -18

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (-18)/2

x = -18/2

x = -9

x = -9 is your answer.
