The value of x is 5.5. I got this answer by first distributing -3 amongst (x-11), and distributing 7 amongst (2x-5). Next I combined like terms and subtracted 3x from 5x, and added -35 and 2. Next I subtracted 33 from both sides. Next I subtracted 14x from both sides. And finally I divided both sides by -12 to get the final answer of 5.5.
