Question

The reciprocal of (x-y) is z . If z = 11 , y = -3 then what is the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x=-32/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

1/(x+3)=11

(1/n=reciprocal of n)

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x+3.

1=11x+33

11x+33=1(Flip the equation)

11x+33−33=1−33(Subtract 33 from both sides)

11x=−32

11x/11=−32/11

(Divide both sides by 11)

x=−32/11

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x=−32/11
