We have explanation: 2 x - 3 x = - 1 x

- 1 x = 11
Divide by - 1 on both sides
Therefore
x = - 11

Given solution:
1) Subtract 3x from 2x:
2 x - 3 x = 11
- x = 11
The following can be rewritten:
( - 1 ) ( x ) = 11
2) Multiply both sides by - 1 , to change the L.H.S to x :
- 1 - 1 ( x ) = - 1 ( 11 )
1 ( x ) = - 11
Thus
x = - 11
