Question 628248
{{{-11-(x+30)=-41-2(5x-18)}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-11-x-30=-41-10x+36}}} Distribute.



{{{-x-41=-41-10x+36}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-x-41=-10x-5}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-x=-10x-5+41}}} Add {{{41}}} to both sides.



{{{-x+10x=-5+41}}} Add {{{10x}}} to both sides.



{{{9x=-5+41}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{9x=36}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(36)/(9)}}} Divide both sides by {{{9}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=4}}} Reduce.
