first we have to get the variables on one side and the numbers on the other
5x+5=2x+11
-5 -5
5x=2x+6
-2x -2x

3x=6

now that we have that we can solve for x

since divition undos multiplication we can divide

3x=6
-- --
3 3

x=2 is our final answer

How do you work out 5x + 5 = 2x + 11 in steps with a lot of detail?
