11x+2=5x+10+58
show steps


Sagot :

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

=> 11x + 2 = 5x + 10 + 58

=> 11x - 5x = 10 + 58 - 2

=> 6x = 66

=> x = 66/6

=> x = 11

Hope it helps you!!

Hi student, let me help you out! :)

We are asked to solve the equation [tex]\large\pmb{11x+2=5x+10+58}[/tex].

[tex]\triangle~\fbox{\bf{KEY:}}[/tex]

  • The goal is to get x all by itself.

So here's how we solve the equation...

///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\///\\\

Notice that we can add 10 and 58 right off the bat:

[tex]\large\pmb{11x+2=5x+68}[/tex]

Now we subtract 2 from both sides of the equal sign:

[tex]\large\pmb{11x=5x+66}[/tex]

Now we subtract 5x from both sides of the equal sign:

[tex]\large\pmb{6x=66}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 6:

[tex]\large\pmb{11}[/tex]

That's the value of x.

Hope it helps you out! :D
