Solve the equation.5x +2(11-x)=-5

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(11 - x) = - 5

5x + 22 - 2x = - 5

3x = - 5 - 22

3x = - 27

x = -27 / 3

x = 9

Therefore x = 9 .

x=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can use the distributive property to do 2(11-x)

5x+22-2x=-5

Combine like terms.

3x+22=-5

Now we have to bring the variables to one side and the numbers the other.

We can do this by subtracting 22 from both sides.

3x=-27

x=-9

option (b) is correct

step-by-step explanation:

to find the solution of this system, we need to convert it into reduced row-echelon form. we have,

after applying row operations r2 -> r2/2 and r3 -> r3/3, we get,
