Question 141102
Start by adding +2 to each side:

3= 5/11 x-2
5=5/11 x


Next, you must "undo" the multiplication by the fraction 5/11.  The best way to do this is to multiply both sides of the equation by the "reciprocal" of 5/11, which is 11/5.


{{{5=(5/11)*x}}}
{{{5*(11/5)=(11/5)*(5/11)*x}}}
{{{11=x}}}
