hero · Answer

What would you do if

-2x + 1 = -11 ?

anonymous · Answer

As Hero said, just solve it in exactly the same way: group like terms and simplify.

anonymous · Answer

ummmm  added -2 and 1 and got -1 then subtracted -11 from -1 and got 10

hero · Answer

–2x + 1 ≤ –11
-2x ≤ - 11-1
-2x ≤ - 12
12 ≤ 2x
12/2 ≤ x
6 ≤ x

When adding two negative numbers do this: 

-11 - 1
= -(11 + 1)
= -(12)
= -12
