What is the answer to 4x plus 3 equals 2x plus 11?

Answer 1

The answer is the value of 'x' that makes your statement true.

It's usually called the 'solution'.

Here's how to find it:

Write the statement:

4x + 3 = 2x + 11

Subtract 3 from each side:

4x = 2x + 8

Subtract 2x from each side:

2x = 8

Divide each side by 2:

x = 4

That's the answer. '4' is the only number you can plug in place of 'x'

that makes the statement true.
