Answer: x=1
Explanation:
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
5x−(x−11)=21−6x
5x+−1(x−11)=21−6x(Distribute the Negative Sign)
5x+−1x+(−1)(−11)=21−6x
5x+−x+11=21−6x
5x+−x+11=21+−6x
(5x+−x)+(11)=−6x+21(Combine Like Terms)
4x+11=−6x+21
4x+11=−6x+21
Step 2: Add 6x to both sides.
4x+11+6x=−6x+21+6x
10x+11=21
Step 3: Subtract 11 from both sides.
10x+11−11=21−11
10x=10
Step 4: Divide both sides by 10.
10x/10 = 10/10
