-2x - 11 > -23

11 is subtracting on the left, then it will add on the right

-2x > -23 + 11

-2x > -12

-2 is multiplying on the left, then it will divide on the right. Remember that when you divide by a negative number, the symbol changes

x < (-12)/(-2)

x < 6

The only option in the solution set is 5
