Solve 11x + 11 = 0

The solution of 11x + 11 = 0 is x = -1.

The lines y = 11x + 11 and y = 0 meet at x = -1-6-4-224-60-40-20204060x = -1y = 11x + 11y = 0
The lines y = 11x + 11 and y = 0 meet at x = -1. The solution of the equation is the x-coordinate of the point where the two sides are equal.

How to work it out

  1. 1

    The goal is to get x alone. Undo the operations in the opposite order: first the addition, then the multiplication.

    11x+11=011x + 11 = 0
  2. 2

    Subtract 11 from both sides:

    11x+11āˆ’11=0āˆ’11 ⇒ 11x=āˆ’1111x + 11 - 11 = 0 - 11 \ \Rightarrow\ 11x = -11
  3. 3

    Divide both sides by 11:

    11x11=āˆ’1111 ⇒ x=āˆ’1\frac{11x}{11} = \frac{-11}{11} \ \Rightarrow\ x = -1
  4. 4

    Check: put x = -1 back into the equation.
