To solve the equation 11-4x = -9, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.
First, we can simplify the equation by subtracting 11 from both sides:
11 - 4x - 11 = -9 - 11
-4x = -20
Next, we can divide both sides by -4 to solve for x:
(-4x) / -4 = (-20) / -4
x = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 11-4x = -9 is x = 5.
