Answer:
Explanation:
1. Make an equation. To stay balanced the sum of everything on the left must equal the value on the right.
2 + x + 2 + x + 2 + x + 2 + x + 2 + x = 11
2. Add all like terms. We have 2+2+2+2+2 = 10 and x+x+x+x+x=5x so the equation simplifies to
10 + 5x = 11
3. Substract 10 from both sides
10 - 10 + 5x = 11 - 10
0 + 5x = 1
5x = 1
4. Divide the number being multiplied by x from both sides
5x/5 = 1/5
x = 1/5 or x = 0.2
