Question #N310
What is the solution to the equation $3x + 5 = 11$?
A. -2
B. 2
C. 5
D. 8
Correct Answer is: B
To solve for *x*, we first subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: $3x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5$. This simplifies to $3x = 6$. Then, we divide both sides by 3: $\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{6}{3}$. This gives us $x = 2$.
