Answer:
x = -2.6
or x=-2 and 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
11 = -5x + -2
Reorder the terms:
11 = -2 + -5x
Solving
11 = -2 + -5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5x' to each side of the equation.
11 + 5x = -2 + -5x + 5x
Combine like terms: -5x + 5x = 0
11 + 5x = -2 + 0
11 + 5x = -2
Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + -11 + 5x = -2 + -11
Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + 5x = -2 + -11
5x = -2 + -11
Combine like terms: -2 + -11 = -13
5x = -13
Divide each side by '5'.
x = -2.6
Simplifying
x = -2.6
