Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

11x - 16 = -49

=> 11x = - 49 + 16

=> 11x = -33

$= > x = \frac{ - 33}{11}$

=> x = -3 (Ans)

Answer 2

Answer:

x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Add 16 to both sides of the equation

11−16=−49

11−16+16=−49+16

2. Simplify.

IF you add the numbers you will get:

11x=-33

3. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

11=−33

11/11=−33/11

4. Simplify.

x=-3
