Question 26050: Please help me understand how to solve this problem:
11-2x=x+2
Answer by CasaNova(1) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! first, what you do is send variables to one side and #s on the other. So,for example you put -2x on the x+2 side. Then that becomes 3x+2=11. Then what you do is you subtract 2 to both sides of the equation which turns out 3x=9. the last thing you do is divide both sides by three( to get the x by itself). your answer should be x=3!
