Question

What is 2X +3+ 3X equals X +11

Answer 1

Part 1) x=5

Part 2) x=2

Explanation:

The question is solve for x

Part 1) we have

`x+3x=x+x+10`

Combine like terms both sides

`4x=2x+10`

subtract 2x both sides

`4x-2x=10\\2x=10`

divide by 2 both sides

`x=5`

Part 2) we have

`2x+3+3x=x+11`

Combine like terms left side

`5x+3=x+11`

subtract x both sides

`5x+3-x=11\\4x+3=11`

subtract 3 both sides

`4x=11-3\\4x=8`

divide by 4 both sides

`x=2`
