8x – 11 = 2x + 1
\n" ); document.write( "Add 11 to each side of the equation.
\n" ); document.write( "8x – 11 + 11 = 2x + 1 + 11
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 2x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 2x from each side of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "8x - 2x = 2x + 12 - 2x
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 12
\n" ); document.write( "divide each side by 6 to get
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 2 into the original equation
\n" ); document.write( "8*2 – 11 = 2*2 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "16 - 11 = 4 + 1
\n" ); document.write( "5 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "ie the value x=2 is correct
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
