Subtract eleven from both sides to isolate the x-variable.
x + 11 = 3
- 11 -11
x = -8

Subtract 11 from both sides:
x=-8
Check:
-8+11=3
3=3

x + 11 = 3
subtract 11 from both sides
x + 11 - 11 = 3 - 11
11 - 11 = 0, so simplify
x = 3 - 11
x = -8

First: solve for "x" and keep it on one side by itself > subtract 11 from both sides (opposite side means opposite sign):
x + 11 - 11 = 3 - 11
x = -8

x + 11 = 3 subtract 11 from each side
x+11-11=3-11 combine like terms
x=-8

You're trying to get x by itself... so
x + 11 = 3
-11 -11 Subtract eleven from both sides.
x=3-11
x= -8 now simplify (3-11)

Solving for x:
x + 11 = 3
You want to get x isolated by itself so,
x + 11 - 11 = 3 - 11
x = -8

Remember, the goal is to get like terms together and simplify.
Subtract eleven from both sides of the equation.
