To solve the equation \( 12x + 5 = 10x - 11 \), follow these steps:
1. Start by isolating the variable \( x \) on one side of the equation. First, subtract \( 10x \) from both sides:
\[
12x - 10x + 5 = -11
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x + 5 = -11
\]
2. Next, subtract \( 5 \) from both sides to get:
\[
2x = -11 - 5
\]
Simplifying the right side gives:
\[
2x = -16
\]
3. Finally, divide both sides by \( 2 \):
\[
x = \frac{-16}{2}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = -8
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
\boxed{-8}
\]
