Solve: 5x - 11 = 3x +3 for x

Step 1: Identify Variables: 5x, 3x, Step 2: take the smaller one to other side with change in sign: 5x-3x-11= 3 Step 3: Take constants to other side with change in sign: 5x-3x = 3 +11 Step 4: Simplify on both sides: 2x = 14 Step 5:Divide both sides by co-efficient of x: x = 7... Important: Put Value of x = 7 in original equation and verify answer.
