Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Eleven less than seven times a number is five more than six times the number

To Find: Number

Solution:

Let the number be x

Since we are given that Eleven less than seven times a number

⇒$7x-11$

We are also given that five more than six times the number

⇒$6x-5$

We are given that Eleven less than seven times a number is five more than six times the number

So, $7x-11=6x-5$

$7x-6x= -5+11$

$x= 6$

Hence the number is 6
