To solve the equation, let's distribute and combine like terms:

First, distribute the 1/2 to (4x - 10):

1/2(4x - 10) + 5 = x - 11

2x - 5 + 5 = x - 11

Next, combine like terms on the left side:

2x = x - 11

To isolate x, subtract x from both sides:

2x - x = x - 11 - x

x = -11

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = -11.
