Answer:

[tex]x=-18[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]-x-x+11-2x=83[/tex]

Step 1: Combine Like Terms on LHS

[tex]-x-x+11-2x=83\\-2x+11-2x=83\\-4x+11=83[/tex]

Step 2: Subtract 11 on both sides

[tex]-4x+11=83\\-4x+11-11=83-11\\-4x=72[/tex]

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4 to isolate the x-variable

[tex]-4x=72\\\\\frac{-4x}{-4}=\frac{72}{-4}\\ \\ x=-18[/tex]

Final Answer

[tex]x=-18[/tex]

Answer: x = -18

Step-by-step explanation: The first step can be changed but I decided to subtract 11 on both sides so that the x’s are found on one aside and the numbers are found on the other. Then in the second step, I combined like terms, the x’s. Then I divided both sides by -4 to cancel out the -4 next to the x and 72/(-4) is -18.
