Here's a similar problem. Follow it step by step, line by line.
5x - 3(x+2) = 2
Step 1, Distribute (the minus sign distributes, too)
5x - 3x - 6 = 2
Step 2, Combine like terms on the left side of the equation
2x - 6 = 2
Step 3, combine the constant terms by adding 6 to each side of the equation
2x = 8
Step 4, get x by itself by dividing each side of the equation by 2
x = 4 Done.
For your problem, get x = 11/4 = 2 + 3/4
