(-3x+11)-3x=14

1 answer

To solve the equation (-3x+11)-3x=14, we first distribute the -1 to both terms inside the parentheses to get:

-3x + 11 - 3x = 14

Next, we combine like terms:

-6x + 11 = 14

To isolate the variable, we need to move the constant term to the other side of the equation. We do this by subtracting 11 from both sides:

-6x = 14 - 11

Simplifying further:

-6x = 3

Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -6:

x = 3 / -6

Simplifying:

x = -1/2

Therefore, the solution to the equation (-3x+11)-3x=14 is x = -1/2.
