Let's call the number you thought of n. Then what the two steps you took can be written as an equation:
Subtract n to get all of your variables to one side:
At this point, I recommend turning your mixed number into an improper fraction. It will make things easier later on:
Now divide both sides by 11 to get the value of n:
