For this case we have the following equation:

[tex]-4x-5 + 2x = -11[/tex]

To solve, we add similar terms to the left side of the equation:

[tex]-2x-5 = -11[/tex]

We add 5 to both sides of the equation:

[tex]-2x = -11 + 5\\-2x = -6[/tex]

We divide between -2 on both sides of the equation:

[tex]x = \frac {-6} {- 2}\\x = 3[/tex]

Thus, the solution of the equation is 3.

Answer:

[tex]x=3[/tex]
