-4x + 7 = 11
First, subtract 7 from both sides. / Your problem should look like: \(-4x = 11 - 7\)
Second, subtract 11 - 7. / Your problem should look like: \(-4x = 4\)
Third, divide both sides by -4. / Your problem should look like: \(x = \frac{4}{-4}\)
Fourth, change the fraction to a negative. / Your problem should look like: \(x = -\frac{4}{4}\)
Fifth, cancel 4 out. / Your problem should look like: \(x = -1\)
Answer: x = -1
