11\left(x+40\right)=x+13\times 40
Variable x cannot be equal to -40 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x+40.
11x+440=x+13\times 40
Use the distributive property to multiply 11 by x+40.
11x+440=x+520
Multiply 13 and 40 to get 520.
11x+440-x=520
Subtract x from both sides.
10x+440=520
Combine 11x and -x to get 10x.
10x=520-440
Subtract 440 from both sides.
10x=80
Subtract 440 from 520 to get 80.
x=\frac{80}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
x=8
Divide 80 by 10 to get 8.
