Answer:

-5

Explanation:

The question is saying:

a number which we can use for a variable x because we dont know what that number is.

The difference means the question is subtracting

equals -11 so that's what it has to equal

and 6 is a constant and its part of the function

since x is put before the 6 that means x is greater so here's our question:

x - 6 = -11

you can automatically know that is -5 but if you didn't, try adding -11 and 6 together (-11 + 6) which will equal -5

Hope this helps.
