Answer 1

To solve the equation \(-5x - 11 = 19\), follow these steps:

1. Add 11 to both sides of the equation: \[ -5x - 11 + 11 = 19 + 11 \] This simplifies to: \[ -5x = 30 \]

2. Now divide both sides by -5: \[ x = \frac{30}{-5} \] This simplifies to: \[ x = -6 \]

So the solution is: \[ \boxed{-6} \]
