2.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2(11-1) = 30

First, solve the ones inside the bracket:

11 - 1 = 10

Next, multiply the number inside the bracket by the number next to bracket:

2 × 10 = 20

The equation will now be:

5x + 20 = 30

Since 5x and 20 are not like terms, carry +20 over to the other side making it 30 - 20:

5x = 30 - 20

5x = 10

Now, divide both sides by the coefficient of x (5):

5x/5 = 10/5

x = 2

The answer to the equation is 2.

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
