You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5x-2(4+3x)=11
\n" ); document.write( "First you will distribute -2;
\n" ); document.write( "-2(4)+-2(3x);
\n" ); document.write( "5x-8-6x=11
\n" ); document.write( "Now you will add like terms;
\n" ); document.write( "5x-6x-8=11
\n" ); document.write( "-x-8=11
\n" ); document.write( "Add 8 to both sides;
\n" ); document.write( "-x-8+8=11+8
\n" ); document.write( "-x=19;
\n" ); document.write( "We do not want to leave x as a negative so we will divide both sides by -1;
\n" ); document.write( "\"-x%2F-1=19%2F-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "x=-19
\n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand
