Question

5(2x+1)=11 solve please

Answer 1

Given:

`5(2x+1)=11`

Using distributive property.

`a(b+c)=ab+ac,\text{ here a=5, b=2x and c=1.}`

`5*2x+5*1=11`

`10x+5=11`

Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we get

`10x+5-5=11-5`

`10x=6`

Dividing both sides by 10 of the equation, we get

`(10x)/(10)=(6)/(10)`
`x=(6)/(10)`
`x=(3)/(5)=0.6`

Hence the value of x is 3/5 or 0.6.
