$$\frac { x } { 5 } + 11 = \frac { 1 } { 15 }$$

$x = -\frac{164}{3} = -54\frac{2}{3} \approx -54.666666667$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $15$, the least common multiple of $5,15$.

$$3x+165=1$$

Subtract $165$ from both sides.

$$3x=1-165$$

Subtract $165$ from $1$ to get $-164$.

$$3x=-164$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{-164}{3}$$

Fraction $\frac{-164}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{164}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{164}{3}$$
