12- x/9 = 11

solve for x

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 12 - \frac{x}{9} = 11 \), follow these steps:

  1. Start by isolating the term with \( x \): \[ 12 - 11 = \frac{x}{9} \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 = \frac{x}{9} \]

  2. Next, multiply both sides by 9 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = 1 \times 9 \] Thus: \[ x = 9 \]

So the solution is \( x = 9 \).
