I didn't know what you ment but still ill try my best:

Answer: x,11

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

-47 = 2x + 2x + -3

Reorder the terms:

-47 = -3 + 2x + 2x

Combine like terms: 2x + 2x = 4x

-47 = -3 + 4x

Solving

-47 = -3 + 4x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-4x' to each side of the equation.

-47 + -4x = -3 + 4x + -4x

Combine like terms: 4x + -4x = 0

-47 + -4x = -3 + 0

-47 + -4x = -3

Add '47' to each side of the equation.

-47 + 47 + -4x = -3 + 47

Combine like terms: -47 + 47 = 0

0 + -4x = -3 + 47

-4x = -3 + 47

Combine like terms: -3 + 47 = 44

-4x = 44

Divide each side by '-4'.

x = -11

Simplifying

x = -11
