Solve for x x/5+7=11

$\frac{x}{5} + 7 = 11$

Step 1

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $7$ from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{x}{5} = 11 - 7$

Subtract $7$ from $11$ .

$\frac{x}{5} = 4$

Step 2

Multiply both sides of the equation by $5$ .

$5 \frac{x}{5} = 5 \cdot 4$

Step 3

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $5$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$5 \frac{x}{5} = 5 \cdot 4$

Rewrite the expression.

$x = 5 \cdot 4$

Simplify the right side.

Multiply $5$ by $4$ .

$x = 20$
