$v= 5$

$11-9v=-34$

You want to isolate the variable one step at a time. First, get the term with the variable by itself.

Subtract $11$ from both sides of the equation:

$11-9v-11=-34-11$

Now we have

$-9v=-45$

Isolate the variable even more by dividing off the coefficient.

Divide both sides by $-9$ :

$(-9v)/-9 = (-45)/-9$

$v= 5$

How do you solve 11- 9v = - 3411- 9v = - 34?
