Answer: [tex]x = 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so we start with our equation.
[tex]2x + 3 = 11[/tex].
Then we need to get x alone. To do that we subtract the 3 on the side with the x.
But what we do to one side, we do to the other. So we subtract 3 from the 11 as well
2x + 3 = 11
-3 -3
2x = 8
Then we divide by 2 on both sides to get X.
[tex]\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{8}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2x}{2} = x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{8}{2} = 4[/tex]
[tex]x = 4[/tex].
