Math Problem Statement

4x + 2 = x + 11

Solution

To solve the equation 4x+2=x+114x + 2 = x + 11:

  1. Start by subtracting xx from both sides to group the xx-terms together: 4xx+2=114x - x + 2 = 11 This simplifies to: 3x+2=113x + 2 = 11

  2. Next, subtract 2 from both sides to isolate the xx-term: 3x=1123x = 11 - 2 Simplifying: 3x=93x = 9

  3. Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for xx: x=93=3x = \frac{9}{3} = 3

Thus, the solution is x=3x = 3.
