You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve this equation: 11+4x=21-x
perform the necessary steps to get the unknowns (x) on the left, numbers on the right
Subtract 11 from both sides
11 - 11 + 4x = 21 - x -11
4x = 10 - x
add x to both sides
4x + x = 10 - x + x
5x = 10
divide both sides by 5
1x =
x = 2

Check solution in original equation
11 + 4(2) = 21 - 2
11 + 8 = 19; confirms our solution of x = 2
