1. Let's start with a simple algebra question for you to answer. 2. Solve for $x$ in the equation $$2x + 3 = 11$$. 3. To solve this, we use the rule of isolating the variable $x$ by performing inverse operations. 4. First, subtract 3 from both sides: $$2x + 3 - 3 = 11 - 3$$ which simplifies to $$2x = 8$$. 5. Next, divide both sides by 2 to isolate $x$: $$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{2}$$ which simplifies to $$x = 4$$. 6. So, the solution to the equation is $x = 4$. Please provide your answer to this question, and I will mark it for you.
