3+8-4x=3x-x-7
Use the distributive property to multiply 4 by 2-x.
11-4x=3x-x-7
Add 3 and 8 to get 11.
11-4x-3x=-x-7
Subtract 3x from both sides.
11-7x=-x-7
Combine -4x and -3x to get -7x.
11-7x+x=-7
Add x to both sides.
11-6x=-7
Combine -7x and x to get -6x.
-6x=-7-11
Subtract 11 from both sides.
-6x=-18
Subtract 11 from -7 to get -18.
x=\frac{-18}{-6}
Divide both sides by -6.
x=3
Divide -18 by -6 to get 3.
