Answer:

The number that would complete the equation is 2.666...

Explanation:

To find the answer, just isolate the variable, x, to find what the number could be.

11 + x ÷ 4 - x = 9

x ÷ 4 - x = -2

x ÷ 4 = x - 2

x = 4x - 8

-3x = -8

3x = 8

x = 2.66...

Do you have a picture of the question? From what I can tell if both question marks represent the same number, the answer is -3.125 but I’d hate be be overthinking a more simple question. Here’s my work but if I looks too confusing it probably is and I read the question wrong
