To solve this problem, we must get the variable x alone on one side of the equation. To do this, first we must subtract 8 from both sides of the equation.

11=x/-5 + 8 = 19 = x/-5

Next, we must multiply both sides by -5, to cancel out the fraction term on the right side of the equation.

3 = x/-5 = -15=x

Therefore, x = -15, which is the solution to this equation.

Hope this helps!
