You want to start by getting all the x's on one side and all the terms w/o x on the other side

decentnabeel · Answer

$$3x-5=2x+6\quad :\quad x=11$$

anonymous · Answer

3x-2x= 6+5

decentnabeel · Answer

3x-5=2x+6
subtract 2x n both sides
3x-2x-5=2x-2x+6
x-5=6
add 5 on both sides
x-5+5=6+5
x=11

@decentNabeel X actually equals 1, but good try

decentnabeel · Answer

@redskychicken you mean x=1 ok
put x=1
3x − 5 = 2x + 6
3(1)-5=2(1)+6
3-5=2+6
-2=8
so cannot be equal..
so tell me why x=11 is not correct

decentnabeel · Answer

put x=11
3x − 5 = 2x + 6
3(11)-5=2(11)+6
33-5=22+6
28=28
so that are equal on both sides
so that x=11 is the correct answer
are you understand @redskychicken
