If eight times a number is subtracted from eleven times the number, the result is -9. Find the number.

so this question can be representd by
eight times a number, (8x), is subtracted from (-8x) eleven times a number (11x), the result is -9
so -8x+11x=-9 or 11x-8x=-9 add like terms 3x=-9 divide both sides by 3 x=-3

The number is − 3 , found by solving the equation 11 x − 8 x = − 9 which simplifies to 3 x = − 9 . By dividing both sides by 3, we determine that x = − 3 .
