question 2 of 15

Answer 1

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

1. **Isolate the term with \( x \)**:
Subtract 12 from both sides:
\[
-\frac{x}{9} = 11 - 12
\]
\[
-\frac{x}{9} = -1
\]

2. **Multiply both sides by -1**:
\[
\frac{x}{9} = 1
\]

3. **Multiply both sides by 9** to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 9
\]

The solution is:
\[
\boxed{9}
\]
