Solve. 8x – 11 = 2x + 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x from both sides: \"6x-11=1\".
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 1 from both sides: \"6x-12=0\" so \"6x=12\" and \"x=2\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Verify that x=2: \"8%282%29-11=16-11=5\" and \"2%282%29%2B1-5\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
