3x-5=7x+11    Add like terms

   +5     +5

3x=7x+16       Do it again...

-7x   -7x

-4x=16        Now divide

x=-4

Answer:

The answer is x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-5=7x+11

1) you have to move the number that has a variable with it onto one side(3x and +7x) and the numbers that do not have a variable move them onto the other side (-5 and +11),but if you move them you have to change the sign like the underlined numbers below

3x-7x=5+11

2) you have to subtract 3x and-7x which it equals  -4x and then you have to add 5 and 11 which it equals 16

Equation now -4x=16

3) you have to divide -4x into -4x and also divide -4x into 16 which you will get x=-4
