Add 11 from -3:
4x+8=-2x
Subtract 4x from -2x:
8=-6x
Divide -6 from 8:
x=8/-6
Simplify:
x= 4/-3 (negative 4/3)

4x - 3 = (-11) + (-2)x
4x - (-2)x = (-11) + 3 combine similar terms
4x + 2x = -11 + 3
6x = -8 divide both sides by 6 to eliminate 6 form 6x
x = -4/3 OR since it is improper decimal -1 1/3
