Then, multiply both sides by −20. First, add n to both sides. Then, subtract 11 from both sides. First, subtract 11 from both sides. Then, multiply both sides by −1. First, add n to both sides. Then, subtract 20 from both sides.

Answer 1

First, subtract 11 from both sides. Then, multiply both sides by −1.

First, add n to both sides. Then, add 20 to both sides.

Explanation:

Given equation:

11 - n = -20

Solve for variable n

11 - n = -20

Subtract 11 from both sides

11 - n - 11 = -20 - 11

- n = - 31

Multiply both sides by -1

- n(-1) = - 31(-1)

n = 31

First, subtract 11 from both sides. Then, multiply both sides by −1.

11 - n = -20

11 -n +n = -20 + n

11 = -20 + n

11 + 20 = -20 + n +20

31 = n

First, add n to both sides. Then, add 20 to both sides.

First, subtract n from both sides. Then, multiply both sides by −20.

First, add n to both sides. Then, subtract 11 from both sides.

11 - n = -20

11 - n +n = -20 + n

11 = -20 + n

11 - 11 = -20 + n -11

Not possible

First, subtract 11 from both sides. Then, multiply both sides by −1.

First, add n to both sides. Then, subtract 20 from both sides.

11 - n = -20

11 - n + n = -20 + n

11 = -20 + n

11 - 20 = -20 + n - 20

9 = n - 40

Not possible
