create a problem that is equal to 11 using one negative number, and multiplacation

1 answer

Here's an example of a problem that uses one negative number and multiplication to equal 11:

Problem: What number multiplied by (-2) equals 11?

Solution: Let's assign the unknown number as "x." We can set up the equation as -2x = 11. To find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by -2: x = 11 / -2. Simplifying this, we get x = -5.5.

So, when we multiply -2 by -5.5, we indeed get 11: -2 * (-5.5) = 11
