Help , will medal & fan!(: Solve for x and check: 3x + 5 = 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you subtract 5 from both sides, what do you get?

Was about to answer this, but just listen to tom. He's more than trustworthy. Haha.

You're too kind @dtan5457!

OpenStudy (emmamink):

Ok. Subtract 5 from each side and you get 3x = 6. Divide by 3 and you get x = 2. To check this, substitute in a 2 wherever you see an x and solve.
