Question

2x +1 =23 what is the answer

Answer 1

Hey there!

“2x + 1 = 23”

SUBTRACT by 1 to BOTH SIDES

2x + 1 – 1 = 23 – 1

CANCEL out: 1 – 1 because it gives you the value of 0

KEEP: 23 – 2 because it helps us solve for x

“23 – 1 = 22”

NEW EQUATION: 2x = 22

DIVIDE by 2 to BOTH SIDES

2x/2 = 22/2

CANCEL out: 2/2 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 22/2 because it helps us solve for x

Answer: x = 11 ☑️

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
