Work Step by Step
Simplifying
11 + -3x = 23
Solving
11 + -3x = 23
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + -11 + -3x = 23 + -11
Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + -3x = 23 + -11
-3x = 23 + -11
Combine like terms: 23 + -11 = 12
-3x = 12
Divide each side by '-3'.
x = -4
Simplifying
x = -4
