Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the number she thought of was x

[tex] \frac{x}{5} [/tex]

then she added 7 to it and got 11

[tex] \frac{x}{5} + 7 = 11[/tex]

l.c.m

[tex] \frac{x + 35}{5} = 11[/tex]

cross multiply

[tex]x + 35 = 11 \times 5[/tex]

[tex]x + 35 = 55 [/tex]

[tex]x = 55 - 35[/tex]

x = 20
