x = -6

Simplifying
x = -6
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(11 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying
11 + -1x = 0

Solving
11 + -1x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + -11 + -1x = 0 + -11

Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + -1x = 0 + -11
-1x = 0 + -11

Combine like terms: 0 + -11 = -11
-1x = -11

Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 11

Simplifying
x = 11
Solution
x = {-6, 11}
