Can someone help me with my Algebra 2?

Question

is this right?

its absolute value

I have 11 + 2x=5

2x= -11+5

2x= - 6

x=3

and for the negative side I have x= -8

Can someone tell me if I am working out the problem right?

Answer 1

the answer is -3 not 3

Answer 2

you're correct up till x=3. It's x=-3. If you're dividing the #, and it's negative, it all depends on if your dividing by a positive # or or negative #.

Answer 3

nah its wrong, it should be 2x = -3

Answer 4

it's 11 + 2x=5

2x= 5-11

2x= -6

x= -6 : 2

x= -3
