Solve for x: 3x − 5 = 2x + 6 My answer is -11 Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... plug in -11 for x on the left / right sides and see if you get a true statement... you'll find it is not true

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 11 then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract 2x from both sides then add 5 to both sides...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes... x=11
