Answer:

x = 21

Explanation:

To see for what value of x is the equation true, we have to solve x.


\displaystyle (2)/(3) x - 3 = 11\\\\Adding \ 3 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\(2x)/(3) = 11 + 3\\\\(2x)/(3) = 14\\\\Multiply \ 3 \ to \ both \ sides\\\\2x = 14 * 3\\\\2x = 42 \\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x = 42/2\\\\x = 21\\\\For \ x = 21\ the \ given \ equation \ is \ true.\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}
