Subtract 2 from 7 to get 5.
5-3x-11-2x=10x-6
To find the opposite of 11+2x, find the opposite of each term.
-6-3x-2x=10x-6
Subtract 11 from 5 to get -6.
-6-5x=10x-6
Combine -3x and -2x to get -5x.
-6-5x-10x=-6
Subtract 10x from both sides.
-6-15x=-6
Combine -5x and -10x to get -15x.
-15x=-6+6
Add 6 to both sides.
-15x=0
