2+3x=11 for algecraic math for ninth graders?

2+3x=11
3x = 11 - 2
3x = 9
3x/3 = 9/3
x = 3

check:
2+3x=11
2+3(3)=11
2+9=11
11=11

First step is to get your variable x on one side of the equation and alone

===> 3x= 11-2

====> 3x = 9

divide both sides by 3

and then x= 3

Check....


2+ (3*3) does equal 11

2+3x=11
2+3x-2=11-2
3x=9
3x/3=9/3
x=3

2+3x=11

Subtract 2 from both sides

2+3x-2=11-2

3x=9

Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 9/3

x=3

2+3x=11

2+3*2+x=11

3x = 9
x = 3 is the simple answer.

2+3x=11
(2+3x)-2=(11)-2
3x=9
(3x)/3=(9)/3
x=3

hope it helps

2 + 3x = 11
3x = 11 - 2
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
