Five times the difference of twice a number and eleven is negative twenty-five. Find the number.

Let x be the number.

The equation would be: 5 (2x - 11) = - 25

Multiply 2x - 11 by 5 so that it is 10x - 55

Now, move the - 55 to the other side of the equation so 10x = - 25 + 55

Subtract so 10x = 30

Now divide 30 by 10 to find x.

x = 3
