Hey there!☺


Answer:\boxed{x=(-7)/(2)}


Explanation:


4-2x=11

In our first step, we will simplify both sides of the equation:


4+-2x=11\\-2x+4=11

Now subtract 4 from both sides:


-2x+4-4=11-4\\-2x=7

In our last step, we will divide both sides by -2:


(-2x)/(2)=(7)/(-2)\\ x=(-7)/(2)

x=-7/2 is your answer.

Hope this helps!☺
