3x-2%2B6x%2B6=13x%2B11 Start with the given equation.


9x%2B4=13x%2B11 Combine like terms on the left side.


9x=13x%2B11-4 Subtract 4 from both sides.


9x-13x=11-4 Subtract 13x from both sides.


-4x=11-4 Combine like terms on the left side.


-4x=7 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%287%29%2F%28-4%29 Divide both sides by -4 to isolate x.


x=-7%2F4 Reduce.

Answer:

So the solution is x=-7%2F4
