What is the value of x? 3 (2X-5) - 4x=11

X = 13 Steps: 1) Multiply parentheses by 3. 2) collect like terms. 3) move constants to the right 4) add the numbers. 5) divide both sides by 2 to get X=13

x = 13

Explanation:

3 (2x-5) - 4x=11

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation

3 (2x-5) - 4x=11

(3) (2x) + (3) (-5) + -4x=11 (Distribute)

6x+-15+-4x=11

(6x+-4x) + (-15) = 11 (Combine Like Terms)

2x+-15=11

2x-15=11

Step 2: Add 15 to both sides

2x-15+15=11+15

2x=26

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 26 / 2

x = 13
