Math Problem Statement

4x + 7 = 5x + 11

Solution

The equation provided in the image is:

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

Let's solve for xx.

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Subtract 4x4x from both sides to isolate terms involving xx on one side: 4x+74x=5x+114x    7=x+114x + 7 - 4x = 5x + 11 - 4x \implies 7 = x + 11

  2. Subtract 11 from both sides to solve for xx: 711=x+1111    4=x7 - 11 = x + 11 - 11 \implies -4 = x

  3. Thus, the solution is: x=4x = -4

Conclusion:

The value of xx that satisfies the equation 4x+7=5x+114x + 7 = 5x + 11 is 4-4.
