Question

x/11-3=-16

Answer 1

(x)/(11)-3=-16

Since -3 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by adding 3 to both sides.
(x)/(11)=3-16

Subtract 16 from 3 to get -13.
(x)/(11)=-13

Multiply each term in the equation by 11.
(x)/(11)*11=-13*11

Cancel the common factor of 11 in the denominator of the first term (x)/(11) and the second term 11.
(x)/(<X>11<x>)*<X>11<x>=-13*11

Reduce the expression by removing the common factor of 11 in the denominator of the first term (x)/(11) and the second term 11.
x*1=-13*11

Multiply x by 1 to get x.
x=-13*11

Multiply -13 by 11 to get -143.
x=-143

Answer 2

so,
x=-143
