Solving equations

Question 1

Isolate ‘x’ on one side of the equation by performing the same operations on both sides. (for example add or subtract 2x to each side, balance the equation!)

Step 1 .
Add 2x to both sides of the equation.

1 - 2x +2x = 3x + 11 ** +2x**
1=5x+11

example question

Answer 1

Step 2 .
Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation.

1 -11 = 5x + 11 -11
-10 = 5x

then simplify and you will have the value of x!
