Answer:

x=40/21

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−3x−3(6x−11)=−7

−3x+(−3)(6x)+(−3)(−11)=−7(Distribute)

−3x+−18x+33=−7

(−3x+−18x)+(33)=−7(Combine Like Terms)

−21x+33=−7

−21x+33=−7

Step 2: Subtract 33 from both sides.

−21x+33−33=−7−33

−21x=−40

Step 3: Divide both sides by -21.

−21x

−21

=

−40

−21
