$v = 5$ $v= 5$

$11 - 9 v = - 34$ $11-9v=-34$

You want to isolate the variable one step at a time. First, get the term with the variable by itself.

Subtract $11$ $11$ from both sides of the equation:

$11 - 9 v - 11 = - 34 - 11$ $11-9v-11=-34-11$

Now we have

$- 9 v = - 45$ $-9v=-45$

Isolate the variable even more by dividing off the coefficient.

Divide both sides by $- 9$ $-9$ :

$\frac{- 9 v}{- 9} = \frac{- 45}{- 9}$ $(-9v)/-9 = (-45)/-9$

$v = 5$ $v= 5$

How do you solve 11−9v=−3411- 9v = - 34?
