To find the value of x in the equation 2x + 3 = 11 – 5x, we will first rearrange the equation to bring all x terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side.
Start by adding 5x to both sides:
2x + 5x + 3 = 11
This simplifies to:
7x + 3 = 11
Next, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with x:
7x = 11 – 3
Which simplifies to:
7x = 8
Now, divide both sides by 7 to solve for x:
x = 8/7
Since 8/7 is approximately 1.14, we can check the given options:
- a) 3
- b) 0
- c) 2
- d) 4
None of the options provided (3, 0, 2, 4) match 8/7. Therefore, it seems there may be a misalignment between the equation and the options given. If you meant to provide a different equation or set of options, please clarify.
