Question

Algebra help. I'm a little confused on how to do these. I get they should be easy but I'm not aware how to do it.

Answer 1

we have the equation

-6x+5=2x-11

solve for x

step 1

adds 6x both sides

-6x+5+6x=2x-11+6x

5=8x-11

step 2

adds 11 both sides

5+11=8x-11+11

16=8x

step 3

Divide by 8 on both sides

16/8=8x/8

2=x

x=2
