Question

What is 5(x + 6)+11 =25 3x​

Answer 1

x=
`-(16)/(5)`

Explanation:

5(x+6)+11=25

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+6.

5x+30+11=25

Add 30 and 11 to get 41.

5x+41=25

Subtract 41 from both sides.

5x=25−41

Subtract 41 from 25 to get −16.

5x=−16

Divide both sides by 5.

x=-16/5

Fraction -16/5 can be rewritten as -16/5 by extracting the negative sign.

x =
`-(16)/(5)`
