ANSWER: x=12
EXPLANATION:
9+x/6=11
(54+x)/6=11 (finding common denominator)
x/6=11-54/6 (rearranging terms)
x/6=(66-54)/6 (finding common denominator so 6 gets cancelled from both the sides)
x=12
Negative because if you mark it on the graph they go in a downwards line which would be a negative slope on the graph :)
(1,-3)(3,-5)
slope = (-5 - (-3) / (3 - 1) = (-5 + 3) / 2 = -2/2 = -1 <==
