What is the answer for this two step equation, 11=5x-2
1 answer:
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.
Let's add both sides by 2 to eliminate the "-2"
Now, let's divide both sides by 5 to eliminate the "5" in front of the x.
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

you get 2
that is the simplified answer but if you want it in decimals, 2.022 is what you get.
