Answer:
x= -23/5
alternative form:
x= -4.6 or x= -4 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+3(x+4)= -11
multiply numbers in parenthesis by 3
2x+3x+12= -11
add 2x to 3x
5x+12= -11
move constant to right
5x= -11-12
subtract -11 to -12 but since there both negative the equation is addition.
5x= -23
divide both sides by 5
x= -23/5
alternative form:
x= -4.6 or x= -4 3/5
