Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x-11) + 5-1
We can use the distributive property:
2x - 22 + 5 - 1
We can then simplify:
2x - 18
In this case, if 2x - 18 = 0, then 2x = 18 and x = 9.
2x-18
[tex]2(x-11)+5-1\\[/tex]
Expand
[tex]2\left(x-11\right):\quad 2x-22[/tex]
Slot it into the equation
[tex]=2x-22+5-1[/tex]
Add/subtract the numbers
[tex]-22+5-1=-18\\\\=2x-18[/tex]
