Answer 1

Is the equation you're going for this?

\[22\div-x-11\]

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Okay. Well, it would come out to be 22/11-11 or 22/0...

Answer 4

But division by zero is impossible...

Answer 5

Does x = -11? Or just 11?

Answer 6

-11

Answer 7

Well... (-x) with (-11) substituted in would come out to positive 11 and 11-11=0... 22/0 is impossible.

Answer 8

ok this must be why the question said evaluate and if possible simplify. so since its not possible what should i write for my answer?

Answer 9

I would assume so.
