Answer 1

To solve the equation 11-4x = -9, we can start by isolating the variable x.

First, we subtract 11 from both sides of the equation:
11 - 11 - 4x = -9 - 11
-4x = -20

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -4 to solve for x:
-4x/-4 = -20/-4
x = 5

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 5.
