If eleven subtracted from eleven times a number is -66, the unknown number is -5

What is the numerical value of number?

Given the data in the question;

  • Eleven subtracted from eleven times a number is -66.
  • What is the number?

First we translate the statement into an algebraic expression and solve for the unknown number.

Let x represent the unknown number.

Translation

  • Eleven times a number ⇒ 11 × x = 11x
  • Eleven subtracted from ⇒ -11
  • Is -66 ⇒ = -16

Now, we combine.

11x - 11 = - 66

Solve for x

Add 11 to both sides

11x - 11 + 11 = - 66 + 11

11x = -55

x = -55/11

x = -5

Therefore, if eleven subtracted from eleven times a number is -66, the unknown number is -5
