Question

Solve for x 11 - 13x - 7 - 2x = 7

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey, there!!

Let's solve it simply.

Given,

11 - 13x - 7 - 2x = 7

Simplify the like terms.

11 - 7 - 13x - 2x = 7

4 - 15x = 7.

shifting 4 in right side.

-15x =7-4

-15x = 3

Divide 3 by -15.

`x = (3 )/( - 15)`

Therefore, x = (-3/15) or (-1/5).

Hope it helps....

Answer 2

x =-1/5

Explanation:

`11-13x-7-2x=7\\\\\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}\\-13x-2x+11-7=7\\\\\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:-13x-2x=-15x\\-15x+11-7=7\\\\\mathrm{Add/Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:11-7=4\\-15x+4=7\\\\\mathrm{Subtract\:}4\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}\\-15x+4-4=7-4\\\\Simplify\\-15x=3\\\\\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-15\\(-15x)/(-15)=(3)/(-15)\\\\Simplify\\x=-(1)/(5)`
