Find the missing value of X between $3X +5$ equal to 11

Step 1: Isolate the term with X

To find the value of $X$, we first need to isolate the term containing $X$. We can achieve this by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation. This operation keeps the equation balanced, as stated in reference [ref_3] regarding keeping quantities equal.

Step 2: Simplify the equation

After subtracting 5 from both sides, the equation simplifies to $3X = 6$. The constant term on the left side is eliminated, bringing us closer to finding $X$.

Step 3: Solve for X

Now that we have $3X = 6$, we need to find the value of a single $X$. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 3. This is a fundamental step in solving linear equations, similar to scalar multiplication or division for matrices as described in reference [ref_2], maintaining equality.

Step 4: Calculate the final value

Performing the division, we find that $X = 2$. This is the final value that satisfies the original equation.
