Answer:

5 should be subtracted  from each term

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{11-x}{8-x}=\frac{2}{1}

Cross multiply,

1 * (11 - x) = 2*(8-x)

11 -x = 2*8 - 2*x

11 - x = 16 - 2x

Subtract 11 from both sides,

-x = 16 - 2x - 11

-x = 5 - 2x

Add 2x to both sides

-x +2x = 5 - 2 + 2x

x = 5

Answer:

D. x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Image can be rewritten as 3x + 6 = 9.

Solve for x.

3x +6 = 9

Isolate x by subtracting 6 from both sides.

3x = 3

Get rid of the 3 by dividing by 3 on both sides.

x = 1

Hope this helped.
