Question

3 ( x - 1 ) = 11
what is x?

Answer 1

$\huge\mathtt\purple{\:Answer}$

$3(x - 1) = 11 \\ 3x - 3 = 11 \\ 3x = 11 + 3 \\ 3x = 14\\ x = \frac{14}{3}$

Answer 2

Here we are given an equation 3 ( x - 1 ) = 11

We have to find the value of x

So, we will first open the bracket and then rearrange the equation as given below

3 ( x - 1 ) = 11

 3x - 3 = 11

       3x = 11 + 3

        3x = 14

          x = 14/3

Hence, the value of x will be 14/3
