Question 107145
To solve this equation follow the rules that state that do opposite operations to cancel them out to get x by itself.

{{{2/3x + 11 = 7}}}

Since you are adding 11, subtract 11.

{{{2/3x = 7 - 11}}}

That would equal -4.

{{{2/3x = -4}}}

Since you are dividing 3x, multiply 3x.

{{{2 = -4 * 3x}}

That would equal -12x.

{{{2 = -12x}}}

Since you are multiplying by -12, divide -12.

2/-12 = x

Simplify:

-1/6 = x

x equals negative 1 over 6.
