Answer:

x=-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

11 less than three times a number would be represented as 3x - 11.

75 less than the product of -1 and the number would be represented as -x - 75

Those two expressions are the same.

3x - 11 = -x - 75

3x        = -x - 64

4x        =     -64

x = -16

Hope this helps!!  :)
