In equation form:
5x - 11 = 19
solve for x
start by adding 11 to both sides of equation
5x - 11 + 11 = 19 + 11
5x = 30 (-11+11=0) and 19 + 11 = 30
5x = 30
divide each side by 5
x = 6

"a number" = x
5 times that number = 5x
eleven less than 5x = 5x - 11
5x -11 = 19
add 11 to both sides.
5x = 19 + 11
5x = 30
divide both sides by 5
x = 30/5
x = 6
