Answer:

x = 3.133

Explanation:

I'm going to take a chance and assume that you meant "ln 11," not "in11."

If I'm right, then we have:

3x-5 = ln 11 + 2.

Adding 5 to both sides yields

3x = ln 11 + 2 + 5, or ln 11 + 7. Since ln 11 = 2.398,

3x = 2.398 + 7, or 3x = 9.398, and so

x = 3.133.

If this is not what you expected, please ensure that you have copied down the original problem accurately. Thank you.
