x = 11

Answer 1

To solve for x, we need to combine like terms and isolate the variable on one side of the equation.

Using the distributive property, we have:

14x - 3x + 11 = -22

Combining like terms, we get:

11x + 11 = -22

To isolate the variable, we can subtract 11 from both sides of the equation:

11x + 11 - 11 = -22 - 11

This simplifies to:

11x = -33

Finally, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 11:

11x/11 = -33/11

This gives us:

x = -3

Therefore, the solution is x = -3.
