11-5%283-x%29=-2%28x%2B3%29%2B6x Start with the given equation.


11-15%2B5x=-2x-6%2B6x Distribute.


5x-4=-2x-6%2B6x Combine like terms on the left side.


5x-4=4x-6 Combine like terms on the right side.


5x=4x-6%2B4 Add 4 to both sides.


5x-4x=-6%2B4 Subtract 4x from both sides.


x=-6%2B4 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=-2 Combine like terms on the right side.
