Given the following equation given in the exercise:


x-2=11

You need to solve for the variable "x" in order to find the solution. You can follow this procedure:

Apply the Addition property of equality and add 2 to both sides of the equation:


\begin{gathered} x-2+(2)=11+(2) \\ x=13 \end{gathered}

Remember that the Addition property of equality states the following (For any numbers "A", "B" and "C":


\text{If }A=B\text{ then }A+C=B+C

Threfore, you get that the answer is:


x=13
