Respuesta :

-11 = a + 7   Given

-7        -7    Subtract 7 on each side to cancel out +7 and isolate variable

-18 = a       Answer

Prove.

-11 = -18 + 7    Plug in variable value

-11 = -11

True.

In order to get the answer to this question you will have to subtract 11 on both sides.

[tex]-11=a+7[/tex]

[tex]-7-7[/tex]

[tex]-11 - 7 = -18[/tex]

[tex]-18 = a[/tex]

[tex]a = -18[/tex]

Which will mean the answer would be "-18."

Hope this helps.
