yes you have to add 11 to both sides and then you divide your answer by 5 but the negative number is throwing me off @sunnysunshine

Are you confused about why 11 is added to flip over to the other side of the equation? I don't know what your asking..

5X-11=-28 +11 +11 5x=-17 5x= -17 -- -- 5 5 x= -17 --- 5 x=-17/5
