Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
-3 + 2x = 11
(group like terms)
2x = 11 + 3
2x = 14
(divide both sides by 2 to make x stand alone)
2x/2 = 14/2
x = 7
1 ton is equivalent to 2000 pounds
we have to find how many pounds 3 3/8 tons are equal to
if 1 ton --> 2000 pounds
we can break down the fraction into 3 + 3/8
then 3 tons --> 2000 x 3 = 6000 pounds
3/8 ton ---> 2000 x 3/8 = 
after adding 6000 + 750 = 6750 pounds
answer is 6750 pounds
compare the divisor x-3 with x-a which will give a=3 and then use remainder theorem.
