2\lambda +14=-3\left(x-1\right)
Add 11 and 3 to get 14.
2\lambda +14=-3x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-1.
-3x+3=2\lambda +14
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-3x=2\lambda +14-3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
-3x=2\lambda +11
Subtract 3 from 14 to get 11.
\frac{-3x}{-3}=\frac{2\lambda +11}{-3}
Divide both sides by -3.
x=\frac{2\lambda +11}{-3}
Dividing by -3 undoes the multiplication by -3.
x=\frac{-2\lambda -11}{3}
Divide 2\lambda +11 by -3.
2\lambda +14=-3\left(x-1\right)
Add 11 and 3 to get 14.
2\lambda +14=-3x+3
Use the distributive property to multiply -3 by x-1.
2\lambda =-3x+3-14
Subtract 14 from both sides.
2\lambda =-3x-11
Subtract 14 from 3 to get -11.
\frac{2\lambda }{2}=\frac{-3x-11}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
\lambda =\frac{-3x-11}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
