To solve the equation \( 47 = -\frac{x}{11} + 43 \), follow these steps: 1. Start by isolating the term that contains \( x \). Subtract 43 from both sides: \[ 47 - 43 = -\frac{x}{11} \] This simplifies to: \[ 4 = -\frac{x}{11} \] 2. Next, to eliminate the negative sign and the fraction, multiply both sides by -11: \[ 4 \times -11 = x \] This leads to: \[ x = -44 \] Thus, the solution is \[ \boxed{-44} \]

To solve the equation \( 47 = -\frac{x}{11} + 43 \), follow these steps:

Start by isolating the term that contains \( x \). Subtract 43 from both sides:

\[ 47 - 43 = -\frac{x}{11} \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 4 = -\frac{x}{11} \]
Next, to eliminate the negative sign and the fraction, multiply both sides by -11:

\[ 4 \times -11 = x \]

This leads to:

\[ x = -44 \]

Thus, the solution is

\[ \boxed{-44} \]
