For this case we must find the value of "x" of the following equation:


-11x-30 + 6x = 0

We add similar terms from the right side of the equation, taking into account that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:


-5x-30 = 0

We add 30 to both sides of the equation:


-5x = 30

we divide between -5 on both sides of the equation:


x = \frac {30} {- 5}\\x = -6

ANswer:


x = -6
