4x+11
Or 5x-2y
There were no variables for x or y given. So I tried for the first problem to subtract 11 from both sides and x=-11/4. I don't think that was correct.

The teacher gave us several problems and I couldn't figure out the answers.
4x+11
Or 5x-2y
-----------
1st, what is the problem? 4x+11 is not a problem, it's just a binomial.
What are supposed to do?
---------------
There were no variables for x or y given.
x & y are variables.
--------------
So I tried for the first problem to subtract 11 from both sides ***Both sides of what? There's no equal sign. *** and x=-11/4.
----------
I don't think that was correct.
