Question

How would i figure this out?
5(x-1) = x+11

Answer 1

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Answer 2

(5)(x)+(5)(−1)=x+11(Distribute)
5x + −5 = x+11
5x − 5 = x+ 11

Answer 3

Subtract x from both sides.

Answer 4

5x − 5 − x = x+11−x
4x − 5=11

Answer 5

Add 5 to both sides.

Answer 6

4x − 5 + 5=11+5
4x=16

Answer 7

Divide both sides by 4. :)

Answer 8

4x/4 = 16/4

Answer 9

x=4
