Question

`11-2x+8x+5=32`

Answer 1

`\displaystyle x = (8)/(3)`

Explanation:

`11 - 2x + 8x + 5 = 32`

Combine like terms.

`8x - 2x + 5 + 11 = 32`

`6x + 16 = 32`

Subtract 16 on both sides of the equation.

`6x + 16 - 16 = 32 - 16`

`6x = 16`

Divide both sides by 6.

`(6x)/(6) =(16)/(6)`

`x = (8)/(3)`

Answer 2

`\boxed{x = 8/3}`

Explanation:

=>
`11-2x+8x+5 = 32`

Combining like terms

=>
`11+5 -2x+8x = 32`

=> 16 + 6x = 32

Subtracting 16 to both sides

=> 6x = 32 - 16

=> 6x = 16

Dividing both sides by 6

=> x = 16/6

Simplifying

=> x = 8/3
