How to solve 11x + 88 = 55? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.
We have 11x + 88 = 55
First, we move the non x terms to the RHS of the equation. To do this, we subtract 88 from both sides.
Note: if a = b, then a - c = b - cTherefore, 11x + 88 - 88 = 55 - 88
or, 11x = -33
Next, divide both sides by 11, which is the coefficent of x
Note: if a = b, then a ÷ c = b ÷ c11x11 = -3311
x = -3311
To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 11, which is the GCF of 33 and 11:
x = -31 or, x = -3
