To solve for x in the equation 5 = 2x - 11, we can start by isolating the variable x.
First, we add 11 to both sides of the equation:
5 + 11 = 2x - 11 + 11
This simplifies to:
16 = 2x
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
16/2 = 2x/2
This simplifies to:
8 = x
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 8.
Solve for x
5 = 2x - 11
