7%285x%2B4%29-6=11x-2 Start with the given equation.


35x%2B28-6=11x-2 Distribute.


35x%2B22=11x-2 Combine like terms on the left side.


35x=11x-2-22 Subtract 22 from both sides.


35x-11x=-2-22 Subtract 11x from both sides.


24x=-2-22 Combine like terms on the left side.


24x=-24 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-24%29%2F%2824%29 Divide both sides by 24 to isolate x.


x=-1 Reduce.
