The difference of two numbers is the distance between them, so we're talking about absolute value.  Let x be the number we are looking for.  The difference of x and 11 is the same as |11 - x|.  This small group of symbols replaces "the difference and a number".  "is gets replaced by "=", so all that verbiage boils down to 5|11 - x | = 125.
