Simplifying
2x + 11y = 4

Solving
2x + 11y = 4

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-11y' to each side of the equation.
2x + 11y + -11y = 4 + -11y

Combine like terms: 11y + -11y = 0
2x + 0 = 4 + -11y
2x = 4 + -11y

Divide each side by '2'.
x = 2 + -5.5y

Simplifying
x = 2 + -5.5y
