Question

What is the answer for this two step equation, 11=5x-2

Answer 1

Hey there!

For questions like these, we want to isolate the x on one side of the equation and have everything else on the other side.


`11=5x-2`

Let's add both sides by 2 to eliminate the "-2"


`13=5x`

Now, let's divide both sides by 5 to eliminate the "5" in front of the x.


`(13)/(5) =x`

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)
