Given the equation:
11x + 7 = 6x - 3
Solve for x.
Solution:
In order to solve for x, we simply need to transpose 6x and 7 to the opposite sides of the equation, hence it must be taken to note that in transposing a number, the sign changes/
11x + 7 = 6x - 3
11x - 6x = -3 - 7
5x = -10
Divide both sides by 5 in order to determine the value of x.
5x/5 = -10/5
x = -2
Final answer:
x = -2
