3%28-2x%2B5%29=11-4x Start with the given equation.


-6x%2B15=11-4x Distribute.


-6x=11-4x-15 Subtract 15 from both sides.


-6x%2B4x=11-15 Add 4x to both sides.


-2x=11-15 Combine like terms on the left side.


-2x=-4 Combine like terms on the right side.


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


x=2 Reduce.
