-------------------------------------------------------------------- 

%2810ac-x%29%2F11%29 = -3

First multiply both sides by 11. You will get

10ac - x = -33.

Then move x from left to right changing the sign:

10ac = x - 33.

Next divide both sides by 10c. You will get

a = %28x-33%29%2F%2810c%29.

It is your answer.

Next time use parentheses PLEASE.
