Question

8x - 5x - 1 = 11 - 2x

Answer 1

Answer: x=12/5

Explanation:

Combine like terms first:

3x-1=11-2x

Get both x terms on the same side and combine them:

5x-1=11

Isolate the x variable:

X=12/5

Answer 2

Given :

• 8x - 5x - 1 = 11 - 2x

To Find :

• Value of x = ?

Solution :

`\sf \dashrightarrow 8x - 5x - 1 = 11 - 2x`

`\sf \dashrightarrow 3x - 1 = 11 - 2x`

`\sf \dashrightarrow 3x - 1 - 11 + 2x = 0`

`\sf \dashrightarrow 5x - 12 = 0`

`\sf \dashrightarrow 5x = 12`

`\sf \dashrightarrow x = (12)/(5)`

Hence, value of x is 12/5.
