11x-7=4x-6 Start with the given equation


11x=4x-6%2B7Add 7 to both sides


11x-4x=-6%2B7 Subtract 4x from both sides


7x=-6%2B7 Combine like terms on the left side


7x=1 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%281%29%2F%287%29 Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x


--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=%281%29%2F%287%29 (which is x=0.142857142857143 in decimal form)
