To solve the equation \(2x + 4 = 11\), you can follow these steps:
1. **Subtract 4 from both sides**: This will help isolate the term with \(x\).
\[
2x + 4 - 4 = 11 - 4
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
2x = 7
\]
2. **Divide both sides by 2**: This will solve for \(x\).
\[
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{7}{2}
\]
Simplifying this gives:
\[
x = 3.5
\]
So, the solution to the equation \(2x + 4 = 11\) is \(x = 3.5\).
