Question 789786
{{{-4(x+1)-9=-12+11}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{-4x-4-9=-12+11}}} Distribute.



{{{-4x-13=-12+11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{-4x-13=-1}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{-4x=-1+13}}} Add {{{13}}} to both sides.



{{{-4x=12}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(12)/(-4)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-4}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=-3}}} Reduce.
