How can x + 2 = −3x + 11 be Set up as a System of Equations?

Equations form the basis of mathematics. There are many types of equations, including quadratic, cubic, linear, and many others.

Answer: x + 2 = −3x + 11 can be set up as a system of equations as followed: x + 2 = 0 and −3x + 11 = 0.

Let's solve this step by step.

Explanation:

Given equation:

x + 2 = −3x + 11

We can set up  x + 2 = -3x + 11 as a  system of equations by equating both sides by zero resulting in two equations.

The equations will be as followed:

x + 2 = 0 ............(1)

−3x + 11 = 0  ............(2)

Thus, x + 2 = −3x + 11 can be set up as a system of equations as x + 2 = 0 and −3x + 11 = 0.
