Solve for x . 5=2x−11

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

Starting with the given equation:
5 = 2x - 11

To isolate x, we will add 11 to both sides of the equation:
5 + 11 = 2x - 11 + 11
16 = 2x

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
16/2 = 2x/2
8 = x

Therefore, the solution is x = 8.
