6 - 3x + 15 = 5x - 11
Simplify 6 - 3x + 15 to -3x + 21
-3x + 21 = 5x - 11
Add 3x to both sides
21 = 5x - 11 + 3x
Simplify 5x - 11 + 3x to 8x - 11
21 = 8x - 11
Add 11 to both sides
21 + 11 = 8x
Simplify 21 + 11 to 32
32 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8
32/8 = x
Simplify 32/8 to 4
4 = x
Switch sides
x = 4
Answer:
4=x
Step-by-step explanation:
6-3(x-5)=5x-11
Distribute the -3
6 -3x +15 = 5x -11
Combine like terms
21 -3x = 5x-11
Add 3x to each side
21-3x+3x = 5x+3x-11
21 = 8x-11
Add 11 to each side
21+11 = 8x-11+11
32 = 8x
Divide by 8
32/8 = 8x/8
4 =x
