The reciprocal of (x-y) is z. If z = 11, y = - 3 then what is the value of x

x=-32/11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

1 / (x+3) = 11

(1/n=reciprocal of n)

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x+3.

1=11x+33

11x+33=1 (Flip the equation)

11x+33-33=1-33 (Subtract 33 from both sides)

11x=-32

11x/11=-32/11

(Divide both sides by 11)

x=-32/11
