Bot GPT 3.5 To solve for x, we want to isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
Starting with the equation: -5x - 11 = 9
We can move the constant term (-11) to the right side by adding 11 to both sides:
-5x - 11 + 11 = 9 + 11
This simplifies to:
-5x = 20
Now, divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for x:
-5x / -5 = 20 / -5
This simplifies to:
x = -4
So the solution for x is -4.
