To solve the equation -5x - 11 = 19, we need to isolate x.
First, let's add 11 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the -11 on the left side:
-5x - 11 + 11 = 19 + 11
-5x = 30
Next, divide both sides of the equation by -5 to solve for x:
(-5x) / -5 = 30 / -5
x = -6
So, x = -6 is the solution to the equation -5x - 11 = 19.
