Answer: -27/2 or -27

Explanation:

You didn't use parentheses so the equation isn't clear.

I answered for both possibilities.


-8=x+(11)/(2)\\\\\\-8-(11)/(2)=x\\\\\\-(16)/(2)-(11)/(2)=x\\\\\\\large\boxed{-(27)/(2)=x}


-8=(x+11)/(2)\\\\\\-8(2)=(x+11)/(2)(2)\\\\\\-16=x+11\\\\\\-16-11=x\\\\\\\large\boxed{-27=x}
