Question

If 2x+11=3x+4 then why does x=

Answer 1

The given expression is

`2x+11=3x+4`

First, we subtract 11 on each side

`\begin{gathered} 2x+11-11=3x+4-11 \\ 2x=3x-7 \end{gathered}`

Then, we subtract 3x on each side

`\begin{gathered} 2x-3x=3x-7-3x \\ -x=-7 \\ x=7 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the solution is 7.
