What is the solution for x in the equation? - 8x+11=35

You need to make 11 a negative number and subtract it from 35 then you should get the answer 24! Next you divide - 8 divided by 24 which is - 3! BTW you don't need to use the original 11 because it gets cancelled out!

-8x+11=35

11-11=0

11-35=24

-8x=24

divided 8 by both - 8 and 24

and that = X=3
