Answer:
x=−12
Step-by-step explanation:
−6x+5(−2x−11)=137
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
−6x+5(−2x−11)=137
−6x+(5)(−2x)+(5)(−11)=137(Distribute)
−6x+−10x+−55=137
(−6x+−10x)+(−55)=137(Combine Like Terms)
−16x+−55=137
−16x−55=137
Step 2: Add 55 to both sides.
−16x−55+55=137+55
−16x=192
Step 3: Divide both sides by -16.
−16x/−16=192/−16
