Question
$$-5(x+5)-5x-4 = 11$$
Answer
$$ x = -4 $$
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} -5(x+5)-5x-4 &= 11&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]-(5x+25)-5x-4 &= 11&& \\[1 em]-5x-25-5x-4 &= 11&& \\[1 em]-10x-29 &= 11&& \text{ move -29 to the right } \\[1 em]-10x &= 11+29&& \\[1 em]-10x &= 40&& \text{ divide both sides by $ -10 $ } \\[1 em]x &= -\frac{40}{10}&& \\[1 em]x &= -4&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
