#10/11#

Explanation:

Firstly, you should isolate #x# into one side.

Then, you should add 6 into both sides. since #-36/11# is a fraction convert 6 into an improper fraction so that it can be added to #-36/11#
You should get something like #3x=-36/11+66/11#

#-36+66=30# so #3x=30/11#

Then you divide both sides by 3 to get #x# alone.

#x=30/33#

You could simplify the numerator and denominator by 3 therefore...

#x=10/11#.
