Question

X + (x + 11) =79 solve x

Answer 1

`\Huge \boxed{x=34}`

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Explanation:

`x+x+11=79`

Combining like terms.

`2x+11=79`

Subtracting 11 from both sides.

`2x=68`

Dividing both sides by 2.

`x=34`

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`

Answer 2

x=34

Explanation:

x + (x + 11) =79

Combine like terms

2x+11 = 79

Subtract 11 from each side

2x+11-11 = 79-11

2x = 68

Divide by 2

2x/2 = 68/2

x = 34
