Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 11 - 4x = -9 \), follow these steps:

1. Start by isolating the term involving \( x \): \[ 11 - 4x = -9 \] Subtract 11 from both sides: \[ -4x = -9 - 11 \] \[ -4x = -20 \]

2. Now divide both sides by -4 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5 \]

The solution is \( x = 5 \).

The correct response from the options given is: 5.
