To find the value of \( A \) that makes the equation true, you need to compute the expression on the right side:

\[
A = 5 - \frac{11}{3}
\]

First, convert \( 5 \) to a fraction with a denominator of \( 3 \):

\[
5 = \frac{15}{3}
\]

Now substitute that back into the equation:

\[
A = \frac{15}{3} - \frac{11}{3}
\]

Now, subtract the fractions:

\[
A = \frac{15 - 11}{3} = \frac{4}{3}
\]

So, the expression for \( A \) is:

\[
A = \frac{4}{3}
\]

This means that for the equation \( A = 5 - \frac{11}{3} \) to be true, \( A \) must equal \( \frac{4}{3} \).
