Sure, let's solve the equation [tex]\(2x + 5 = 11\)[/tex] step by step.
1. Start with the given equation:
[tex]\[
2x + 5 = 11
\][/tex]
2. Isolate the term containing [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:
[tex]\[
2x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5
\][/tex]
Simplifies to:
[tex]\[
2x = 6
\][/tex]
3. Solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
[tex]\[
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{6}{2}
\][/tex]
Simplifies to:
[tex]\[
x = 3
\][/tex]
Therefore, the solution to the equation [tex]\(2x + 5 = 11\)[/tex] is [tex]\(x = 3\)[/tex].
