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

Step 1: Set up the equation

We begin by writing down the given equation that needs to be solved for $X$. This equation shows a relationship between $X$ and known numbers.

Step 2: Isolate the term with X

To find the value of $X$, we first need to isolate the term containing $X$. We can do this by subtracting the constant term, $5$, from both sides of the equation. This maintains the equality as seen in the textbook's approach to finding a missing number through subtraction (Reference 1, 2, 3).

Step 3: Perform subtraction

Now, we perform the subtraction on the right side of the equation. Subtracting $5$ from $11$ gives $6$. The equation now states that $5$ times $X$ is equal to $6$.

Step 4: Solve for X

To find the value of $X$, we divide both sides of the equation by $5$. This operation isolates $X$ completely and gives us its numerical value. Dividing $6$ by $5$ yields the final result for $X$.
