8=x + 11 over (divided) -2 wahts the way to solve this

hello :)

so you first want to multiply both sides by -2

16 = x + 11

rememeber we are try to isolate the variable, meaning that we want the variable (x) on one side and the number on the other

then subtract 11 on both side

x = 5

i hope this helped and if it was i hope you can say that this is the brainiliest answer! have a nice day
