Worked Example
Problem: Solve: 5x − 4 = 2x + 11
- 5x − 2x − 4 = 11— Subtract 2x from both sides.
- 3x − 4 = 11— Combine like terms.
- 3x = 15— Add 4 to both sides.
- x = 5— Divide by 3.
Answer: x = 5
Frequently Asked Questions
x appears on both the left and right side, like 4x + 3 = 2x + 11. Collect all x-terms on one side first.
Either works, but moving the smaller coefficient avoids negative coefficients.
If variables cancel and you get a false statement like 3 = 7, there is no solution. A true statement like 0 = 0 means infinite solutions.
