y = - 10 x - 11

$y = - 10 x - 11$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as

$- 10 x - 11 = y$ .

$- 10 x - 11 = y$

Step 2

Add

$11$ to both sides of the equation.

$- 10 x = y + 11$

Step 3

Divide each term in

$- 10 x = y + 11$ by

$- 10$ and simplify.

Step 3.1

Divide each term in

$- 10 x = y + 11$ by

$- 10$ .

$\frac{- 10 x}{- 10} = \frac{y}{- 10} + \frac{11}{- 10}$

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 10 x}{- 10} = \frac{y}{- 10} + \frac{11}{- 10}$

Step 3.2.1.2

Divide

$x$ by

$1$ .

$x = \frac{y}{- 10} + \frac{11}{- 10}$
