First, let's simplify the equation step by step. Starting with: \[ 2x - (x - 1) = 3x + 11 \] Distributing the negative sign, we get: \[ 2x - x + 1 = 3x + 11 \] Now, combine like terms on the left side: \[ x + 1 = 3x + 11 \] Next, we'll isolate \( x \) by subtracting \( x \) from both sides: \[ 1 = 2x + 11 \] Now, subtract 11 from both sides to continue isolating \( x \): \[ 1 - 11 = 2x \] Thus, we have: \[ -10 = 2x \] Dividing both sides by 2 gives: \[ x = -5 \] So, the simplified answer is: \[ x = -5 \]
