Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 11 - 4x = -9 \), follow these steps:

1. **Subtract 11 from both sides**:
\[
11 - 4x - 11 = -9 - 11
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-4x = -20
\]

2. **Divide both sides by -4**:
\[
x = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5
\]

So, the solution to the equation \( 11 - 4x = -9 \) is \( x = 5 \).
