Answer:
The solution of the equation [tex]3 + x = 11[/tex] is [tex]x = 8[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Let [tex]3 + x = 11[/tex], we see that number of equation and variables are both the same and can be solved by algebraic means.
1) [tex]3 + x = 11[/tex] Given
2) [tex]x + 3 = 11[/tex] Commutative property
3) [tex]x + [3+(-3)] = 11 + (-3)[/tex] Compatibility with addition/Associative property
4) [tex]x = 8[/tex] Additive inverse/Modulative property/Definition of substraction/Result
The solution of the equation [tex]3 + x = 11[/tex] is [tex]x = 8[/tex].
