I don't know how to solve this math problem: -5 + 3x = 11. Could you please walk me through the process?

Sure, I can help you with that. To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. First, let's get rid of the constant term (-5) on the left-hand side by adding 5 to both sides: -5 + 3x + 5 = 11 + 5 Simplifying, we get: 3x = 16 Now, we have 3x on the left-hand side and a constant term (16) on the right-hand side. To solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 3: 3x/3 = 16/3 We get: x = 16/3 Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 16/3.
