Explanation:
Simplifying the left side of the equation.
#x/(-5)+ -11=-x/5-11#
#rArr-x/5-11=-9" is the equation to be solved"# Multiply all terms by 5 to eliminate the fraction.
#cancel(5)xx-x/cancel(5)+(5xx-11)=(5xx-9)#
#rArr-x-55=-45# add 55 to both sides.
#-xcancel(-55)cancel(+55)=-45+55#
#rArr-x=10# To solve for x, multiply both sides by - 1.
#-1xx(-x)=-1xx10#
#rArrx=-10" is the solution"#
