Question

Solve each equation. Check your solutions.

$x-5=-11$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The $x=-6$ is the solution of the given equation.

Step 1. Given information.

We have an equation $x-5=-11$.

To find the solution of the given equation and check the solution.

Step 2. Calculation.

Solving the given equation:

$\begin{array}{l}x-5=-11\\ \Rightarrow x=-11+5\\ \Rightarrow x=-6\end{array}$

Step 3. Check the Solution.

We substitute the $x=-6$ in the given equation.

$\begin{array}{l}x-5=-11\\ \Rightarrow -6-5=-11\\ \Rightarrow -11=-11\end{array}$

L.H.S. = R.H.S

Hence, the $x=-6$ is the solution of the given equation.
