We can solve each equation separately to see if any of them have a solution of -7:

A. 4x - 23 = 5
Adding 23 to both sides, we get:
4x = 28
Dividing both sides by 4, we get:
x = 7

B. 5x + 11 = -24
Subtracting 11 from both sides, we get:
5x = -35
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x = -7

C. -3x - 8 = -29
Adding 8 to both sides, we get:
-3x = -21
Dividing both sides by -3, we get:
x = 7

D. -x + 3 = -4
Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:
-x = -7
Multiplying both sides by -1, we get:
x = 7

Therefore, the equation (B) 5x + 11 = -24 has a solution of -7.
