Answer:

  • See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

  • 2(x + 5) + 3 = 4(x + 2) - 11
  • 2x + 10 + 3 = 4x + 8 - 11
  • 2x + 13 = 4x - 3
  • 4x - 2x = 13 + 3
  • 2x = 16
  • x = 16/2
  • x = 8

Order of operations

  • = Use the distributive property on both sides
  • = Identify and combine any like terms
  • = "Undo" addition to isolate the variable term
  • = "Undo" multiplication to isolate the variable
