Answer:

x = 70/9 :)

Explanation:

So, 9(x - 9) = -11. :)

We can use the distributive property to turn 9(x - 9) into 9x - 81!

9x - 81 = -11

We can now add on 81 to both sides :)

9x = -11 + 81 = 70

So, we have 9x = 70.

To get x by itself, we'll divide the equation by 9, to get:

9x / 9 = 70 / 9

x = 70/9

And there's your solution :)
