Solve for x . 5 = 2x−11 (1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 5 = 2x - 11 \), follow these steps:

1. Add 11 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with \( x \):

\[ 5 + 11 = 2x \]

\[ 16 = 2x \]

2. Now, divide both sides by 2 to solve for \( x \):

\[ x = \frac{16}{2} \]

\[ x = 8 \]

Thus, the solution is \( x = 8 \).
