What do you want to solve for? I'm assuming that you want to solve for "y"


2x%2B3y-11=0 Start with the given equation.


2x%2B3y=11 Add 11 to both sides.


3y=11-2x Subtract 2x from both sides.


3y=-2x%2B11 Rearrange the terms.


y=%28-2x%2B11%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate y.


y=%28%28-2%29%2F%283%29%29x%2B%2811%29%2F%283%29 Break up the fraction.


y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B11%2F3 Reduce.


So after solving for "y", we get the answer: y=-%282%2F3%29x%2B11%2F3
