Answer:

x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 11 - 5x + 17 = 0

First collect like terms and add or subtract them,

3x - 5x + 11 + 17 = 0

-2x + 28 = 0

Second subtract -28 from both side, which will be,

-2x + 28 - 28 = 0 - 28

-2x = -28

Then divide both side by -2,

-2x / -2 = -28 / -2

after dividing it by -2, the final answer will be,

x = -14

I hope this helps you.
