Question

What is the answer for this two step equation, 11=5x-2

Answer 1

Hey there!

For questions like these, we want to isolate the x on one side of the equation and have everything else on the other side.

$11=5x-2$

Let's add both sides by 2 to eliminate the "-2"

$13=5x$

Now, let's divide both sides by 5 to eliminate the "5" in front of the x.

$\frac{13}{5} =x$

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)
