11%28x-6%29-4%28x%2B3%29=4%28x-3%29 Start with the given equation.


11x-66-4x-12=4x-12 Distribute.


7x-78=4x-12 Combine like terms on the left side.


7x=4x-12%2B78 Add 78 to both sides.


7x-4x=-12%2B78 Subtract 4x from both sides.


3x=-12%2B78 Combine like terms on the left side.


3x=66 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2866%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x=22 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=22
