Question

What other way can I solve this equation without using distributive property

Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

The other option we have to solve the equation without using the distributive law is clear the x+2, so we obtain this:

`\begin{gathered} 3\mleft(x+2\mright)-x=11 \\ 3(x+2)=11+x \\ x+2=(1)/(3)(11+x) \end{gathered}`
