To solve the equation \( 7x + 3 = 5x + 11 \), follow these steps:

1. First, subtract \( 5x \) from both sides to get all the \( x \) terms on one side:

\[
7x - 5x + 3 = 11
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2x + 3 = 11
\]

2. Next, subtract \( 3 \) from both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):

\[
2x = 11 - 3
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2x = 8
\]

3. Finally, divide both sides by \( 2 \) to solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{8}{2} = 4
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{4}
\]
