To solve the equation 11-4x = -9, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
Starting with the given equation:
11-4x = -9
First, let's isolate the variable x by subtracting 11 from both sides of the equation:
11-4x - 11 = -9 - 11
-4x = -20
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -4 to solve for x:
-4x / -4 = -20 / -4
x = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 11-4x = -9 is x = 5
