Those not equivalent. You most likely mean to show highlight_green%28%288x-7%29%2F3=11%29.

Multiply both sides by 3:
8x-7=3%2A11
ADD 7 to both sides:
8x=3%2A11%2B7
Multiply both sides by 1%2F8:
x=%283%2A11%2B7%29%2F8

Simplify, computing the finished value for x.

Note that I saved all the computing for last.
