To solve the equation \(-56 = 5a - 11\), follow these steps:
1. **Add 11 to both sides of the equation** to isolate the term with \(a\):
\[
-56 + 11 = 5a
\]
\[
-45 = 5a
\]
2. **Divide both sides by 5** to solve for \(a\):
\[
a = \frac{-45}{5}
\]
\[
a = -9
\]
So, the solution is \(a = -9\).
1. **Add 11 to both sides of the equation** to isolate the term with \(a\):
