-9-11x=68 Steps please

We can start this equation off by doing the inverse operation for each sides. We add 9 to both sides in order to get rid of the -9 term to get:

We now divide both sides by -11 in order to "isolate" our x variable to get:

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
