Answer:
x=-4
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write the expression and distribute.
-2(2x+11)=5x+14
-4x-22=5x+14
Add one of the variables to the other side (it makes solving a lot easier). I'll add 4x to both sides because it won't result in a negative x.
-4x-22=5x+14
+4x +4x
-22=9x+14
Now, subtract 14 on both sides.
-22=9x+14
-14 -14
-36=9x
Divide both sides by 9.
-36=9x
/9 /9
-4=x or x=-4 (they both mean the same thing)
Have a wonderful day! I hope this helped :3
