To solve the equation \sqrt{-5x-9} = 11, we need to isolate the square root term and then square both sides of the equation.
First, we isolate the square root term by squaring both sides of the equation:
(\sqrt{-5x-9})^2 = 11^2
Simplifying, we get:
-5x-9 = 121
Next, we isolate the variable by moving the constant term to the other side:
-5x = 121 + 9
Simplifying further:
-5x = 130
Finally, we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by -5:
x = -130/5
Simplifying the fraction:
x = -26
