Answer 1

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

1. Isolate the variable term: Start by subtracting 11 from both sides:

   \[ 11 - 4x - 11 = -9 - 11 \]

   This simplifies to:

   \[ -4x = -20 \]

2. Divide by -4: To solve for \( x \), divide both sides by -4:

   \[ x = \frac{-20}{-4} = 5 \]

Thus, the solution of the equation \( 11 - 4x = -9 \) is:

\[ \boxed{5} \]
