11x-15-3x=-%28x-3%29 Start with the given equation


11x-15-3x=-x%2B3 Distribute the negative


8x-15=-x%2B3 Combine like terms on the left side


8x=-x%2B3%2B15Add 15 to both sides


8x%2Bx=3%2B15 Add x to both sides


9x=3%2B15 Combine like terms on the left side


9x=18 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%2818%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x



x=2 Divide
