Answer:

x = 0

Explanation:

Line segment UV and line segment VW together form line segment UW.

UV + VW = UW

(5 + x) + (6) = (2x + 11)

5 + x + 6 = 2x + 11

x + 11 = 2x + 11

x + 11 - 11 = 2x + 11 - 11

x = 2x

x - x = 2x - x

0 = x

You can also verify the result by substituting x with our result 0.

5 + x + 6 = 2x + 11

5 + (0) + 6 = 2(0) + 11

11 + 0 = 0 + 11

11 = 11

Left side of the equation is the same as the right side of the equation, therefore the result x = 0 is correct.
