Answer 1

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 to eliminate the negative sign:
\[
\frac{x}{9} = 1
\]

3. Multiply both sides by 9 to solve for \( x \):
\[
x = 9 \cdot 1
\]
\[
x = 9
\]

So, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{9}
\]
