Answer :

Given:

[tex]5(2x+1)=11[/tex]

Using distributive property.

[tex]a(b+c)=ab+ac,\text{ here a=5, b=2x and c=1.}[/tex]

[tex]5\times2x+5\times1=11[/tex]

[tex]10x+5=11[/tex]

Subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation, we get

[tex]10x+5-5=11-5[/tex]

[tex]10x=6[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 10 of the equation, we get

[tex]\frac{10x}{10}=\frac{6}{10}[/tex][tex]x=\frac{6}{10}[/tex][tex]x=\frac{3}{5}=0.6[/tex]

Hence the value of x is 3/5 or 0.6.
