2x + 5 = 11

2 x 3 = 6

6 + 5 = 11

The answer would be 3

2 x 3 + 5 = 11

Idk if this made sense, I hope this did help though

Answer: x = 3

Explanation:

So we need to isolate x by itself.

We can first subtract by 5 on both sides to cancel it out from the side with x.

2x = 6

Now we need to divide by 2 to cancel it from the side with x as well so x will be by itself.

x = 3
