To solve the equation 1/2 (4x - 10) + 5 = x - 11, we can start by simplifying each side step by step.

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

First, let's distribute the 1/2 to the terms inside the parentheses:

2x - 5 + 5 = x - 11

Next, let's combine like terms on both sides of the equation:

2x = x - 11

Now, let's isolate the variable x by subtracting x from both sides:

2x - x = x - x - 11

This simplifies to:

x = -11

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