Answer:
[tex]7x-11=6x+5[/tex]
Solving this we get x = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be = x
Eleven less than seven times a number: [tex]7x-11[/tex]
Five more than six times the number: [tex]6x+5[/tex]
So, the complete statement : Eleven less than seven times a number is five more than six times the number becomes:
[tex]7x-11=6x+5[/tex]
If you want to solve for x;
[tex]7x-6x=5+11[/tex]
x = 16
We can check this:
[tex]7(16)-11=6(16)+5[/tex]
=> [tex]112-11=96+5[/tex]
=> [tex]101=101[/tex]
