Answer: Original expression: 2x - 11 + 4x + 7 + 3(x-4)
Simplified: 9x - 16
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 11 + 4x + 7 + 3(x-4) becomes 2x - 11 + 4x + 7 + 3x -12
Group like terms, then combine to simplify:
2x + 4x + 3x -11 + 7 - 12
2x + 4x + 3x = 9x
-11 -12 + 7 = =23+7= -16
Simplified expression: 9x - 16
