Simplify −5(x−8)+7(x+3)=x+11

If you're solving for x, the answer is -50. x = -50

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parenthesis and distribute:

-5(x-8) + 7(x+3) = x + 11

-5x + 40* + 7(x+3) = x + 11

-5x + 40 +7x + 21* = x + 11

Collect like terms and calculate:

| -5x + 7x

2x + 40 + 21 = x + 11

| 40 + 21

2x + 61 = x + 11

Move them to the other side like so:

2x - x* + 61 = 11

| -61

2x - x = 11 - 61

Combine:

x = 11 - 61

x = -50

step-by-step explanation:

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
