.
12−x/9=11
(1 point)

Answer 1

To solve the equation

\[
\frac{12 - x}{9} = 11,
\]

follow these steps:

1. Start by eliminating the fraction by multiplying both sides by 9:

\[
12 - x = 11 \cdot 9.
\]

2. Calculate \(11 \cdot 9\):

\[
11 \cdot 9 = 99,
\]

so the equation simplifies to:

\[
12 - x = 99.
\]

3. Next, isolate \(x\) by subtracting 12 from both sides:

\[
-x = 99 - 12,
\]

which simplifies to:

\[
-x = 87.
\]

4. Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \(x\):

\[
x = -87.
\]

Therefore, the solution is

\[
\boxed{-87}.
\]
