Question 102796


{{{8x-11=2x+1}}} Start with the given equation




{{{8x=2x+1+11}}}Add 11 to both sides



{{{8x-2x=1+11}}} Subtract 2x from both sides



{{{6x=1+11}}} Combine like terms on the left side



{{{6x=12}}} Combine like terms on the right side



{{{x=(12)/(6)}}} Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x




{{{x=2}}} Divide
