Answer: is x = -8

this is how i got it ______

6 x - 3 - 11 - 8 x = 2

(simplify both sides and combine like terms)

(6x + -8x ) + ( -3 + -11) = 2

- 2x + -14 = 2

-2x - 14 = 2

( then you add 14 to both sides)

- 2x - 14 = 2

+14 +14

-2x = 16

( then you divide both sides by -2)

-2x / -2 = 16/ -2

x = -8

ta da!! happy to help!

it made it here. this is for the second one.

( first, we subtract 8n from both sides)

13n + 26 = 8n - 29

-8n -8n

5n + 26 = -29

( then we subtract 26 from both sides)

5n + 26 = -29

- 26 -26

5n = - 55

(after that we divide both sides by 5, we do this to make n alone )

5n/ 5 = -55/ 5

n = -11
