Solve Linear Equation 183A30
1. You want to practice math, so let's start with a simple algebra problem.
2. Problem: Solve for $x$ in the equation $$2x + 3 = 11$$.
3. Formula: To solve for $x$, isolate $x$ on one side of the equation by performing inverse operations.
4. Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides:
$$2x + 3 - 3 = 11 - 3$$
which simplifies to
$$2x = 8$$.
5. Step 2: Divide both sides by 2:
$$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{2}$$
which simplifies to
$$x = 4$$.
6. Final answer: $x = 4$.
This means that when $x$ is 4, the original equation holds true.
