1 answer

To solve the equation

\[ \frac{12 - x}{9} = 11, \]

follow these steps:

  1. Start by eliminating the fraction by multiplying both sides by 9:

\[ 12 - x = 11 \cdot 9. \]

  1. Calculate \(11 \cdot 9\):

\[ 11 \cdot 9 = 99, \]

so the equation simplifies to:

\[ 12 - x = 99. \]

  1. Next, isolate \(x\) by subtracting 12 from both sides:

\[ -x = 99 - 12, \]

which simplifies to:

\[ -x = 87. \]

  1. Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \(x\):

\[ x = -87. \]

Therefore, the solution is

\[ \boxed{-87}. \]
