Question

what is x+11=3x+3 x=?

Answer 1

First subtract 3x from both sides which give -2x + 11 = 3
Next subtract 11 from both sides which gives -2x = -8
Finally divide both sides by -2 which gives x = 4
The trick to solving algebra problems is combining like terms

Answer 2

x+11=3x+3 you would subtract x from both sides first
11= 2x+3 then you want to get the numbers on one side of the equation so you subtract 3 from both sides
8= 2x divide 2 from both sides
4=x

Answer 3

x+11has to equal the same as 3x+3

Answer 4

what is x+3+3x=x+15 x=?

Answer 5

well, what value do you think it is?

if x = 3, the left is bigger than the right

if x = 5, the right is bigger than the left

there is SOME number between there that makes them equal...
