Hi there!

The sum is the result you get by adding numbers together.

Twice "x" = 2x

The sum of 2x and 5 is 11

Your equation: 2x + 5 = 11

subtract 5 from each side of the equation

2x = 6

divide each side of the equation by 2

x = 3


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
