Solve for x

12 - x/9 = 11

1 answer

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

  1. 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 \( x \): \[ x = 1 \times 9 \] \[ x = 9 \]

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