Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by using the following:

First: Remove the constant by doing the inverse operation by adding 15.

$- 11x - 15 = - 59 \\ - 11x = - 59 + ( - 15) \\ - 11x = - 74$

Make sure to combine like terms after removing the constant.

Second: Divide by -11 to isolate the variable.

$- 11x = - 74 \\ x = \frac{74}{11}$

Note that two negative signs cancel out when multiplying or dividing. So, x is equal to 74/11.
