Celia Anderson · Answer 1

-2.125

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by assigning a variable to this unknown number, let's go with x. If we know that 8 times this number plus 28 is equal to 11, we have our equation of 8x+28 = 11. Subtract 28 from both sides to get 8x = - 17. Divide both sides by 8 to get our answer of - 2.125

Paul · Answer 2

n = - 2.125

Step-by-step explanation:

11=8n + 28

-17 = 8n

n = - 2.125
