Hey there!

11x + 3 = 6

SUBTRACT 3 to BOTH SIDES

11x + 3 - 3 = 6 - 3

CANCEL out: 3 - 3 because it gives you 0

KEEP: 6 - 3 because it helps you solve for your x-value

11x = 6 - 3

11x = 3

DIVIDE 11 to BOTH SIDES

11x/11 = 3/11

CANCEL out: 11/11 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 3/11 because it simplifies for the x-value

SOLVE

x = 3/11

Therefore, your answer should bed x = 3/11

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
