5 + ? + ? = 11

1 answer

To solve for the unknowns in the equation \( 5 + ? + ? = 11 \), we can simplify it step by step.

  1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: \[ ? + ? = 11 - 5 \] \[ ? + ? = 6 \]

  2. This means that the sum of the two unknowns equals 6. We can denote the unknowns as \( x \) and \( y \). So we have: \[ x + y = 6 \]

There are many possible pairs of values for \( x \) and \( y \) that satisfy this equation. For example:

  • \( x = 0 \) and \( y = 6 \)
  • \( x = 1 \) and \( y = 5 \)
  • \( x = 2 \) and \( y = 4 \)
  • \( x = 3 \) and \( y = 3 \)
  • \( x = 4 \) and \( y = 2 \)
  • \( x = 5 \) and \( y = 1 \)
  • \( x = 6 \) and \( y = 0 \)

Any of these pairs (and infinitely many others) will satisfy the original equation. If you have specific conditions or constraints for the unknowns, please provide them for a more precise answer!
