Simplify using the distributive property.
5x + 3(x + 7) = 11 - (2x + 5)

How do you figure out 11-(2x+5)? That is what I am having trouble remembering..

5x + 3(x + 7) = 11 - (2x + 5)
5x +3x + 21 = 11 -2x - 5
8x + 21 = -2x + 6
Can you do the rest?

@StudyGurl14  oh, ok, I understand the first part, it is the 11-(2x+5) part that stumps me, so for that, let's say it is 12-(3x+7), you would just make the 3x  a -3x right?

in that instance, the 3x would become -3x, adn the 7 would become -7
