The given expreswsion is:

11 - ( 3x - 2( 5 + 3x )) when x = 2

We first start simplifying this from the inner brackets. That is we first simplify 2(5 + 3x) and then we substitute for the value of x.

11 - (3x - 10 - 6x )

11 - 3x + 10 + 6x

Ading like terms, we get:

11 + 10 - 3x + 6x

21 + 3x

When x = 2, we get:

21 + 3(2)

21 + 6

= 27

Hence, the solution.
