Answer 1

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

1. First, isolate the term with \(x\) by subtracting 11 from both sides: \[ -4x = -9 - 11 \] \[ -4x = -20 \]

2. Next, divide both sides by -4 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{-20}{-4} \] \[ x = 5 \]

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

The correct response is 5.
