What are the steps to solving this equation?

35 + 3x - 11 = 23

The first step is to combine like terms, 35 and 11 are both integers without variables, so we can combine.

24+3x = 23

Now we subtract 24 from 23 to isolate 3x, and we get - 1.

3x=-1

To solve we just need to divide - 1 by 3.

Answer: - 1/3
