Question

Solve the following equations for x -11=3-7(x-1)

Answer 1

x = 21/8

Explanation:

x - 11 = 3 - 7x + 7

8x = 21

x = 21/8

Answer 2

x = 21/8

Explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

x - 11 = 3 - 7(x - 1)

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute -7: x - 11 = 3 - 7x + 7

Combine like terms: x - 11 = 10 - 7x

Add 7x on both sides: 8x - 11 = 10

Add 11 on both sides: 8x = 21

Divide both sides by 8: x = 21/8
