Answer:

x = 13

Explanation:

To solve this one-step equation, you only need to perform one step (hence the name).

To isolate and solve for the variable x, you would perform the opposite operation that is happening. x is being multiplied, so you would divide to isolate x.

Divide both sides by -11.

x = -143/-11

x = 13
