|3x+5|=11 can someone plz help me with this problem?

Question

This is a evalutating expression equation

Answer 1

|3x+5|=11

3x+5=11(|_| means to get the absolute value and to get that you need to switch everything into a positive and take away |_|)

3x+5=11

    -5   -5

3x=6

/3  /3

x=2

Answer 2

1) Break down the absolute value.

11= 3x + 5 ; 11= -(3x +5)

2) Solve both equations for x.

6 = 3x ; -11 = 3x + 5

2 = x   ; -16 = 3x

2 = x   ; -16/3 = x

3) Answer

x = {-16/3, 2}

Answer 3

Here are the steps:

It's 3x+5= 11|3x+5=-11

For the left side:

1. Subtract 5 from both sides.

2. 3x=6 so divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself.

3. x=2

For the right side:

1. Subtract 5 from both sides.

2. 3x=-16 so divide both sides by positive 3.

3. x= -16/3

You could also do this mentally.  Just think: something plus 5 is 11.  It's 6 right?  There you go.  If x was alone on the other problem, it would just be -16.  Since it's not, you just leave it in thirds.

Answer 4

3x+5 = 11  OR  3x+5 = -11

3x = 6 Or 3x = -16

x = 2 Or x = -16/3

Answer 5

ok

3x+5=11

      -5=-5

-----------------

3x=6

---=----

3    3

x=2

first subtract 5 rom each side.

so you have three x equals 6

divide each by three to get the variable (x) alone

so x=2

good luck hope i helped!

Answer 6

|3x+5|=11

3x+5 = 11

3x = 11 - 5

3x = 6

x = 2

OR

3x+5 = -11

3x = -11 - 5

3x = -16

x = -16 / 3
