1. Since you asked for more examples, let's solve a common algebra problem: Solve for $x$ in the equation $$2x + 3 = 11$$.
2. Start by isolating $x$ on one side. Subtract 3 from both sides:
$$2x + 3 - 3 = 11 - 3$$
which simplifies to
$$2x = 8$$.
3. Next, divide both sides by 2 to solve for $x$:
$$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{2}$$
which gives
$$x = 4$$.
4. Therefore, the solution to the equation is $x = 4$.
Let's do another example: Solve for $x$ in the quadratic equation $$x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0$$.
5. Factor the quadratic:
$$x^2 - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0$$.
6. Set each factor equal to zero:
$$x - 2 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 2$$
$$x - 3 = 0 \Rightarrow x = 3$$.
7. So, the solutions are $x = 2$ and $x = 3$.
These examples illustrate solving linear and quadratic equations step-by-step.
