what is a+6=11

Question

i nned help on how to solve this i dont get it so i need help

Answer 1

the goal is to get a all by itself, so you have to get rid of the 6. To do that, you will subtract 6 from both sides [what you do to one side, you have to do to the other].

 

so...

 

a + 6 = 11

   - 6   - 6

a     = 5

Answer 2

what we need to do is isolate a. That means moving all of the other numbers to the other side of the equation by using their invers mathematical sign:

 

a + 6 = 11

We have a plus 6 on the left, so we need to subtract 6 from both sides:

a + 6 - 6 = 11 - 6

a = 5

 

and now to check:

5 + 6 = 11

11 = 11
