Answer:

x=1

Explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

  • creating equation
  • equation
  • PEMDAS

let's create the equation first:

let a number be x

first condition multiply the number by 6

therefore,

6×x

6x

second condition add 5 to that

therefore,

6x+5

last condition the number is equal to 11

therefore,

6x+5=11

let's solve:


first \: step \colon \: define


6x + 5 = 11


second \: step \colon \: \\ subtract \: 5 \: from \: both \: sides


6x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5


6x = 6


last \: step \colon \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 6


(6x)/(6) = (6)/(6)


\therefore \: x = 1
