How do you solve 5x-11=2x+22

To solve for x, isolate the variable x.

First get it all onto one side by subtracting 2x from both sides.

5x-2x-11=2x-2x+22

3x-11=22

Then add 11 to both sides

3x-11+11=22+11

3x=33

Then divide both sides by 3 since x is multiplied by 3 and the opposite of multiplication is division.

3x/3=33/3

x=11

Final answer: x=11
