Math Problem Statement

Solve for xx:

4, x, plus, 7, equals, 5, x, plus, 11

4x+7=

5x+11

Solution

Let's solve the equation step by step.

Given the equation:

4x+7=5x+114x + 7 = 5x + 11

Step 1: Subtract 4x4x from both sides to isolate the terms involving xx on one side:

7=5x4x+117 = 5x - 4x + 11

7=x+117 = x + 11

Step 2: Subtract 11 from both sides to solve for xx:

711=x7 - 11 = x

4=x-4 = x

So, the value of xx is 4-4.
