x = - 53/7

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Distribute

15x+20 - 2x = 6x-33

Combine like terms

13x+20 = 6x - 33

Subtract 6x to each side

13x-6x+20 = - 6x+6x - 33

7x+20 = - 33

Subtract 20 from each side

7x+20-20 = - 33-20

7x = - 53

Divide by 7

7x/7 = - 53/7

x = - 53/7
