Answer:
Explanation:
Given the below equation;
[tex]5x-7=2x+11[/tex]To solve for x, the 1st step is to subtract 2x from both sides of the equation;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 5x-2x-7=2x-2x+11 \\ 5x-2x-7=11 \\ 3x-7=11 \end{gathered}[/tex]The 2nd step is to add 7 to both sides of the equation;
[tex]\begin{gathered} 3x-7+7=11+7 \\ 3x=18 \end{gathered}[/tex]The final step is to divide both sides of the equation by 3;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3x}{3}=\frac{18}{3} \\ x=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]
