Solve for x

Question

12−x over 9=11

(1 point)
x =

Answer 1

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

1. Multiply both sides by 9 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 12 - x = 11 \times 9 \] \[ 12 - x = 99 \]

2. Next, isolate \(x\) by moving \(12\) to the other side: \[ -x = 99 - 12 \] \[ -x = 87 \]

3. Finally, multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \(x\): \[ x = -87 \]

Thus, the solution is: \[ \boxed{-87} \]
