Question
Solve the equation
x=4
Evaluate
7−3(5x−3)=−11x
Move the expression to the left side
7−3(5x−3)−(−11x)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
7−3(5x−3)+11x=0
Calculate the sum or difference

Calculate
−3(5x−3)
Apply the distributive property
−3×5x−(−3×3)
Multiply the numbers
−15x−(−3×3)
Multiply the numbers
−15x−(−9)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
−15x+9
7−15x+9+11x
Add the numbers
16−15x+11x
Add the terms

Evaluate
−15x+11x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(−15+11)x
Add the numbers
−4x
16−4x
16−4x=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−4x=0−16
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−4x=−16
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
4x=16
Divide both sides
44x=416
Divide the numbers
x=416
