    -2 (4x+3) = 5+3x

    mutiply the bracket by - 2

    (-2) (4x) = - 8x

    (-2) (+3) = - 6

    -8x-6 = 5+3x

    move 3x to the other side

    sign changes from + 3x to - 3x

    -8x-3x-6 = 5+3x-3x

    -11x-6 = 5

    move - 6 to the other side

    -11x-6+6 = 5+6

    -11x = 11

    divide both sides by - 11

    to get x by itself

    to get positive x

    -11x/-11 = 11/-11

    answer:

    x = - 1

    Distributive Property of Equality

    -2 (4x+3) = 5+3x

    -8x-6=5+3x

    -8x=11+3x

    -11x=11

    x=-1
