\/ 10*x + 11  = -x
$$\sqrt{10 x + 11} = - x$$
Detail solution
Given the equation
$$\sqrt{10 x + 11} = - x$$
$$\sqrt{10 x + 11} = - x$$
We raise the equation sides to 2-th degree
$$10 x + 11 = x^{2}$$
$$10 x + 11 = x^{2}$$
Transfer the right side of the equation left part with negative sign
$$- x^{2} + 10 x + 11 = 0$$
This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0

A quadratic equation can be solved
using the discriminant.
The roots of the quadratic equation:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = -1$$
$$b = 10$$
$$c = 11$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c = 

(10)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (11) = 144

Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)

or
$$x_{1} = -1$$
$$x_{2} = 11$$

Because
$$\sqrt{10 x + 11} = - x$$
and
$$\sqrt{10 x + 11} \geq 0$$
then
$$- x \geq 0$$
or
$$x \leq 0$$
$$-\infty < x$$
The final answer:
$$x_{1} = -1$$
