Question

complete the process of solving the equation. fill in the missing term and select the missing description. simplify any fractions. \\(\frac{x}{11} + 15 = 19\\) \\(\frac{x}{11} = 4\\) \\(x = 44\\) add 15 to both sides subtract 15 from both sides multiply both sides by 15 divide both sides by 15 apply the distributive property

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze equation transformation

We start with \(\frac{x}{11}+15 = 19\) and get to \(\frac{x}{11}=4\). To do this, we need to isolate the term with \(x\).

Step2: Identify the operation

Subtracting 15 from both sides of \(\frac{x}{11}+15 = 19\) gives \(\frac{x}{11}+15 - 15=19 - 15\), which simplifies to \(\frac{x}{11}=4\). So the operation is subtracting 15 from both sides. Then, to solve \(\frac{x}{11}=4\) for \(x\), we multiply both sides by 11 (not 15, but the question here is about the step from \(\frac{x}{11}+15 = 19\) to \(\frac{x}{11}=4\)).

Answer:

Subtract 15 from both sides
