Solve 2x-6+5x+11=-2x+4-6x-2-12

$$2 x - 6 + 5 x + 11 = - 2 x + 4 - 6 x - 2 - 12$$

Solve for x

$$x=-1$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 2x and 5x to get 7x.

$$7x-6+11=-2x+4-6x-2-12$$

Add -6 and 11 to get 5.

$$7x+5=-2x+4-6x-2-12$$

Combine -2x and -6x to get -8x.

$$7x+5=-8x+4-2-12$$

Subtract 2 from 4 to get 2.

$$7x+5=-8x+2-12$$

Subtract 12 from 2 to get -10.

$$7x+5=-8x-10$$

Add 8x to both sides.

$$7x+5+8x=-10$$

Combine 7x and 8x to get 15x.

$$15x+5=-10$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$15x=-10-5$$

Subtract 5 from -10 to get -15.

$$15x=-15$$

Divide both sides by 15.

$$x=\frac{-15}{15}$$

Divide -15 by 15 to get -1.

$$x=-1$$
