Question

Five times the difference of a number minus 11

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

5(2x-11) = -5

5(2x-11) = -510x - 55 = -5

5(2x-11) = -510x - 55 = -510x - 55 + 55 = -5 + 55

5(2x-11) = -510x - 55 = -510x - 55 + 55 = -5 + 5510x = 50

5(2x-11) = -510x - 55 = -510x - 55 + 55 = -5 + 5510x = 5010x / 10 = 50 / 10

x = 5
