$x = 3$ $x=3$

To solve for $x$ $x$ first substitute the given value of $y$ $y$ into the given equation:
$11 = 2 - 3 \cdot x$ $11 = 2 - 3 * x$

Then subtract $2$ $2$ from both sides
$11 - 2 = (2 - 3 x) - 2 \to 9 = 3 x$ $11 - 2 = ( 2 - 3 x ) - 2 rarr 9 = 3 x$

Finally divide both sides by $3$ $3$ , we get
$\frac{9}{3} = \frac{3 x}{3} \to 3 = x$ $9/3 = (3x) / 3 rarr 3 = x$

Consider the equation y=2−3xy = 2 - 3x. If y=11y = 11, what is xx?
