multiple-choice question
to solve 11x=44, you would ______.
divide both sides of the equation by 11
subtract 11 from both sides of the equation
add 11 to both sides of the equation
multiply both side of the equation by 11
rewatch

Explanation:

To solve the equation \(11x = 44\) for \(x\), we need to isolate \(x\). The variable \(x\) is multiplied by 11. To reverse this multiplication, we use the inverse operation, which is division. Dividing both sides of the equation by 11 will give \(x=\frac{44}{11} = 4\). Subtracting or adding 11 would not isolate \(x\), and multiplying by 11 would make the equation more complicated.

Answer:

A. divide both sides of the equation by 11
