Question 639996
{{{3(5x+4)-6=11x-2}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{15x+12-6=11x-2}}} Distribute.



{{{15x+6=11x-2}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{15x=11x-2-6}}} Subtract {{{6}}} from both sides.



{{{15x-11x=-2-6}}} Subtract {{{11x}}} from both sides.



{{{4x=-2-6}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{4x=-8}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(-8)/(4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-2}}} Reduce.
