a, 3x + 7 = 2x - 11
\(\Rightarrow3x-2x=-11-7\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-18\)
b, 4 - x = 2x + 16
\(\Rightarrow-x-2x=16-4\)
\(\Rightarrow-3x=12\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac{12}{-3}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-4\)
c, -(x - 4) = x + 8
\(\Rightarrow-x+4=x+8\)
\(\Rightarrow-2x=4\)
\(\Rightarrow x=\frac{4}{-2}\)
\(\Rightarrow x=-2\)
