Interpret the equation as
a + 5(2a − 1) + 3 = 11a − 22.

Simplify the left side:
a + 10a − 5 + 3 = 11a − 2.

So the equation becomes
11a − 2 = 11a − 22.

Subtract 11a from both sides:
−2 = −22,

which is false. Therefore there is no value of a that satisfies the equation.

Answer: The equation has no solution.
