solve for x

-5x-11=19

1 answer

To solve for x, we need to isolate the variable x on one side of the equation.

We start by subtracting 11 from both sides of the equation:

-5x - 11 + 11 = 19 + 11.

This simplifies to:

-5x = 30.

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for x:

(-5x)/-5 = 30/(-5).

Simplifying further, we have:

x = -6.

Therefore, the solution to the equation -5x - 11 = 19 is x = -6.
