Question

Solve: 8x - 11 = 5x + 4
A) x = - 
B) x = - 
C) x = 5 
D) x = 15 
E) x = 4

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation, we want to get all the x terms on one side and all the constants on the other side:

8x - 11 = 5x + 4

Subtract 5x from both sides:

3x - 11 = 4

Add 11 to both sides:

3x = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

x = 5

Therefore, the answer is C.
