addition bc. you need adding to both sides x and will get this result of 3x+2 = 11

Answer: "Subtraction" is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

\(2x+2=11-x\)

Now, consider the equation written as:

\(3x+2=11\)

Now, We will use the property of equality that justifies rewriting the equation :

\(3x+2=11\\\\\text{ Subtracting 2 from both sides}\\\\3x+2-2=11-2\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\frac{9}{3}\\\\x=3\)

Hence "Subtraction" is the correct answer.
