Solve for xx.
47, equals, minus, start fraction, x, divided by, 11, end fraction, plus, 43
47=-x/11+43
To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Step 1: subtract 43 from both sides of the equation:
47 - 43 = -x/11
Simplifying the left side:
4 = -x/11
Step 2: multiply both sides of the equation by 11 to get rid of the fraction:
4 * 11 = (-x/11) * 11
Simplifying:
44 = -x
Step 3: divide both sides of the equation by -1 to solve for x:
44 / -1 = -x / -1
Simplifying:
-44 = x
Therefore, x = -44.
