<PRE><B>Question 83795</B>
The given expreswsion is:  


11 - ( 3x - 2( 5 + 3x )) when x = 2


We first start simplifying this from the inner brackets. That is we first simplify 2(5 + 3x) and then we substitute for the value of x. 


11 - (3x - 10 - 6x ) 


11 - 3x + 10 + 6x 


Ading like terms, we get: 


11 + 10 - 3x + 6x 


21 + 3x 


When x = 2, we get: 


21 + 3(2) 


21 + 6 


= 27  


Hence, the solution.
