How to solve 11x + 88 = 55? Get the answer and stepwise instruction to solve linear equation in one variable 𝒙.

Steps for finding the solution

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 - c

Therefore, 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 ÷ c

11x/11 = -33/11

x = -33/11

To simplify, divide both numerator and denominator by 11, which is the GCF of 33 and 11:

x = -3/1 or, x = -3
