Answer:

x = -5/2

Explanation:

1+2x=6x+11

Subtract 2x from each side

1+2x-2x=6x-2x+11

1 = 4x+11

Subtract 11 from each side

1-11 = 4x

-10 =4x

Divide by 4

-10/4 = 4x/4

-5/2 =x

Answer:


\boxed{x=-(5)/(2)}\\

Explanation:

To begin, get the variable on one side of the equation - preferably the left for standard solution notation (for this equation, it is easier to place it on the right side to avoid negative values). Do this by subtracting 2x from both sides of the equation. Then, subtract 11. Finally, divide by 4 and get the answer in terms of x.

1 + 2x = 6x + 11

1 = 4x + 11

-10 = 4x


\boxed{x=-(5)/(2)}
