$x = -11$

$2x-3x=-1x$

So

$-1x = 11$

Divide by $-1$ on both sides

$x = -11$

$x=-11$

1) Subtract $3x$ from $2x$ :

$2x-3x=11$

$-x=11$

This can be rewritten as:

$(-1)(x)=11$

2) Multiply both sides by $-1$ , to change the L.H.S to $x$ :

$-1*-1(x)=-1(11)$

$=> 1(x)=-11$

$=>x=-11$

Thus, solved.
