If 9a - b = 10b + 80 = -12b - 2a, what is the value of 11a + 11b?
9a - b = -12b - 2a (Given)
9a + 2a = -12b + b
11a = -11b
11a + 11b = 0

Hence, C.

9a - b = 10b + 80 = -12b - 2a

then 11a + 11b = ?

1. Look for the equation which will solve for either 11a and 11b or ( a and b )

2. 9a - b = -12b - 2a suffice one of the above

3. Solving this, we get 11a = -11b

4. ie, 11a+11b = 0

hence the answer D

9a - b = 10b + 80 = -12b - 2a,

form the above we use the first and the last part,

9a-b =-12b-2a.
from this we get 11a=-11b, thus 11a+11b =0. solved
