Solve 2x + 11 = 13

The solution of 2x + 11 = 13 is x = 1.

The lines y = 2x + 11 and y = 13 meet at x = 1-4-2246510152025x = 1y = 2x + 11y = 13
The lines y = 2x + 11 and y = 13 meet at x = 1. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    2x+11=132x + 11 = 13
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    2x+11−11=13−11 ⇒ 2x=22x + 11 - 11 = 13 - 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 2x = 2
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x2=22 ⇒ x=1\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{2}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 1 back into the equation.
