Solve 2x + 11 = 33

The solution of 2x + 11 = 33 is x = 11.

The lines y = 2x + 11 and y = 33 meet at x = 116810121416202530354045x = 11y = 2x + 11y = 33
The lines y = 2x + 11 and y = 33 meet at x = 11. 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=332x + 11 = 33
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    2x+11−11=33−11 ⇒ 2x=222x + 11 - 11 = 33 - 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 2x = 22
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 2:

    2x2=222 ⇒ x=11\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{22}{2} \ \Rightarrow\ x = 11
  4. 4

    Check: put x = 11 back into the equation.
