To begin this question, we need to subtract 11 from both sides.
3x + 11 - 11 = 56 - 11
The two 11s on the left hand side cancel each other, while 56 - 11 = 45.
Therefore,
3x = 45
Now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3 to find the value of x.
3x/3 = 45/3
3x/3 = x while 45/3 = 15
Therefore x = 15.
