Question 337631
{{{7x+31=4x-11}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{7x=4x-11-31}}} Subtract {{{31}}} from both sides.



{{{7x-4x=-11-31}}} Subtract {{{4x}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=-11-31}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{3x=-42}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-42)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-14}}} Reduce.
