5x - 11 - 36 is a math equation. 5x - 11 -36 can be simplified to read 5x- 47.
I suspect that there is an equals missing, ie the question was/should be:
"Solve for x in 5x - 11 equals -36"
5x - 11 = -36
→ 5x = -25
→ x = -5

5x + 36 = x Subtract x from both sides: 4x + 36 = 0 Subtract 36 from both sides: 4x = -36 Divide both sides by 4: x = -9
There is a formula for the "difference of squares." In this case, the answer is (5x - 6)(5x + 6)
3+15
12x = 36
