See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, group and combine like terms on each side of the equation:

#3x - 8x + 11 = -15x + 10x + 14 - 3#

#(3 - 8)x + 11 = (-15 + 10)x + (14 - 3)#

#-5x + 11 = -5x + 11#

Because both sides of the equation are the same, we know #x# can be any number to solve this problem. Therefore, the solution is the set of all Real Numbers. Or:

#x = {RR}#
