Answer:

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
