\text {Hello! Let's solve this Equation!}


\text {Your First Step is to Simplify the Equation:}


\text {(2x+4x)+(8+3)}


\text {6x+11=3x-10}


\text {The Next Step is to Subtract 3x:}


\text {6x+11-3x=3x-10-3x}\\\text {3x+11=-10}


\text {Next Step is to Subtract 11:}


\text {Q: Why Subtract 11?}


\text {A: So they cancel out. We cross them out once we subtract.}


\text {3x+11-11=-10-11}\\\text {3x=-21}


\text {The Final Step is to Divide 3:}


\text {3x/3=-21/3}


\text {Your Answer will be}


\fbox {x=-7}


\text {Best of Luck!}


\text {-LimitedX}
