If 3x -1 = 11, what is the value of x:

OpenStudy (vishal_kothari):

3x-1=11 3x=11+1 3x=12 x=4

OpenStudy (fuzzbuzz):

I was about to say that xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused

OpenStudy (fuzzbuzz):

So 3x-1=11 U need to bring the numbers all to one side and when u move the 1 over it changes from negative to positive making it 3x=11+1 (12). Then u divide both sides by 3 to get x=4
