Answer 1

To solve the equation, we can isolate the variable x.

First, let's add 9 to both sides of the equation:

11 - 4x + 9 = -9 + 9

This simplifies to:

20 - 4x = 0

Next, let's divide both sides of the equation by -4:

(20 - 4x) / -4 = 0 / -4

This simplifies to:

-5 + x = 0

Now, let's isolate x by subtracting -5 from both sides of the equation:

-5 + x - (-5) = 0 - (-5)

This simplifies to:

x - (-5) = 5

Simplifying further:

x + 5 = 5

Now, let's subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:

x + 5 - 5 = 5 - 5

This simplifies to:

x = 0

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.
