Solving A Simple Linear Equation

A step-by-step walkthrough of solving 3x + 5 = 11 for x, built for ASVAB prep. The animation isolates the variable by undoing addition first, then division, showing each move on both sides of the equation to keep it balanced. It highlights the core idea that solving equations means peeling away operations in reverse order until x stands alone, giving x = 2.
