To solve the equation \(5 = 2x - 11\), follow these steps:
1. **Add 11 to both sides** to isolate the term with \(x\):
\[
5 + 11 = 2x
\]
\[
16 = 2x
\]
2. **Divide both sides by 2** to solve for \(x\):
\[
x = \frac{16}{2}
\]
\[
x = 8
\]
The solution is \(x = 8\).
So the correct response is:
**x = 8**.
1. **Add 11 to both sides** to isolate the term with \(x\):
\[
5 + 11 = 2x
\]
\[
16 = 2x
\]
2. **Divide both sides by 2** to solve for \(x\):

The solution is \(x = 8\).
So the correct response is:
**x = 8**.
