-2(4x+3)= 5+3x
mutiply the bracket by -2
(-2)(4x)= -8x
(-2)(+3)= -6
-8x-6= 5+3x
move 3x to the other side
sign changes from +3x to -3x
-8x-3x-6= 5+3x-3x
-11x-6= 5
move -6 to the other side
-11x-6+6= 5+6
-11x= 11
divide both sides by -11
to get x by itself
to get positive x
-11x/-11= 11/-11
answer:
x= -1
