Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by distributing the 5 to remove parentheses.  To do this multiply the numbers and variable in the parentheses by 5.

10x - 20 - 11 = 4 + 3x

Next. you want to get the variables to one side.  This is done by subtracting 3x from both sides.

7x - 20 - 11 = 4

Now solve the -20 - 11.

7x - 31 = 4

You need to have the variable all by itself.  To do this, first add -31 to both sides.

7x = 35

Finally divide by 7.

x = 5

Hope this helped.
