x%2Bx%2Bx%2B2%2B1=11 Start with the given equation



3x%2B3=11 Combine like terms on the left side


3x=11-3Subtract 3 from both sides


3x=8 Combine like terms on the right side


x=%288%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x


--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
So our answer is x=8%2F3 (which is approximately x=2.667 in decimal form)
