To solve the linear equation \( 2x + 5 = 11 \), follow these steps:
1. Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
\[
2x + 5 - 5 = 11 - 5
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2x = 6
\]
2. Now, divide both sides by 2:
\[
\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{6}{2}
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
x = 3
\]
Thus, the solution to the equation \( 2x + 5 = 11 \) is \( x = 3 \).
