Question

hugsnotughs · Answer

Bby, I need the equations.

undeadknight26 · Answer

I. 2x + 4 = 3x – 11
II. 3x + 3 = 51

undeadknight26 · Answer

2x + 4 = 3x – 11
2x + 3x = 4 - 11
5x = 7
/5    /5
x =  1.4?

hugsnotughs · Answer

No, I believe you are wrong.

$$2x+4=3x-11$$So now, just subtract 2x from both sides, which will get you...$$4=x-11$$(remember 1x equals x)  Now, you want to add 11 to both sides which will get you...$$15=x$$
