Explanation:
Simplifying the left side of the equation.
x/(-5)+ -11=-x/5-11
rArr-x/5-11=-9" is the equation to be solved" Multiply all terms by 5 to eliminate the fraction.
cancel(5)xx-x/cancel(5)+(5xx-11)=(5xx-9)
rArr-x-55=-45 add 55 to both sides.
-xcancel(-55)cancel(+55)=-45+55
rArr-x=10 To solve for x, multiply both sides by - 1.
-1xx(-x)=-1xx10
rArrx=-10" is the solution"
