Question 468509: what is the answer using number line in this equation, (x+11)=7?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x + 11 = 7
x = -4 {subtracted 11 from both sides}

Using the number line for 7 - 11:
- imagine standing on 7 and then moving 11 places to the left since it is -11
- that puts you at -4
- so 7 - 11 = -4
