Answer:


x=-4

Explanation:


6x+11=3x-1

To solve this equation, we must first minus(subtract) 3x from both sides of the equation.


6x+11-3x=3x-1-3x

And this equals:


3x+11=-1

Now we must subtract again, but 11 times now.


3x+11-11=-1-11

And this equals:


3x-12

Now let's make this into a fraction to divide.


(3x)/(3)

We get
(-12)/(3)

Now we got our answer:


x=-4

Hope this helps!
