11(x-y)
you can distribute here
11x(x) and 11x(y)
11x and 11y
but don't forget the "-" sign
11x-11y is the equivalent to 11(x-y)
A visual example of this is one my mother showed me. She drew a circle and laid out a piece of yarn around it so that it imitated the perfect shape of the circle. She laid out another piece that was as long as the circle's radius. She wrapped the longer piece around the shorter one, and I saw that it could wrap around it three times and still have at least 0.14 units left. I'm not sure if this helps, but the circumference of this circle is 18.84 cm ^2. I hope I answered your question.
Answer:
-6.8w = 3.4
divide both side by -6.8
the left side become w
and the right side become - 0.5
so
w = -0.5
491,111 is greater than 409,867
