Answer:

x = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Eleven more than five times a number is equal to the difference between −38 and twice the number.

let x represent the number.

11 + 5x = -38 - 2x

7x +11 = -38.............add 2x to both sides

7x = -49................... subtract 11 from both sides

x = -7........................divide both sides by 7
