6\left(n+1\right)=11n
Variable n cannot be equal to -1 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 11\left(n+1\right), the least common multiple of 11,n+1.
6n+6=11n
Use the distributive property to multiply 6 by n+1.
6n+6-11n=0
Subtract 11n from both sides.
-5n+6=0
Combine 6n and -11n to get -5n.
-5n=-6
Subtract 6 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
n=\frac{-6}{-5}
Divide both sides by -5.
n=\frac{6}{5}
Fraction \frac{-6}{-5} can be simplified to \frac{6}{5} by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
