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