6x + 1 = 3x - 11

What is x? And how would I solve this?

x = - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

to evaluate the value of x in the expression 6x + 1 = 3x - 11

we have,

6x + 1 = 3x - 11

combine the like terms

6x + 1 - 3x = - 11

6x - 3x = - 11 - 1

3x = - 12

3x = - 12

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

3x/3 = - 12/3

x = - 4

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

First you wanna subtract the 1 from the 11 then add subtract the 3x from the 6x and you should have 3x = - 12 the. You just divide - 12 by 3
