Hey there!

We need to find the one value of x that, when plugged in, will equal 11.

You have asked if x can equal 5. Let's plug it in and see if it works.

3(5)+2=11

15+2=11

17=11

You can see that this statement is false. So, what can we do to find the right answer.

We need to isolate x so we can see what it equals. To do this, we will use inverse operations.

3x+2-2=11-2

3x=9

3x/3=9/3

x=3

If we plug in 3, you will see that it does equal 11, making the equation true.

I hope this helps!

Jill had some candy to give to her five
Mama L [17]
She started with 32 pieces.

Explanation: If she had 5 children and each child received 5 pieces, you can determine that she gave her children a total of 25 pieces because 5 x 5 = 25. If she took 7 pieces for herself before giving the rest away, you can determine that she had 32 pieces of candy to start with because 25 + 7 = 32.
