problem 9: spiral review
solve this equation.
x + 5 = 11

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 5 from both sides

To solve for \( x \) in the equation \( x + 5 = 11 \), we use the subtraction property of equality. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
\( x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5 \)

Step2: Simplify both sides

Simplify the left - hand side: \( x+5 - 5=x \). Simplify the right - hand side: \( 11 - 5 = 6 \). So we get \( x = 6 \).

Answer:

\( x = 6 \)
