Sure, I can help you with that.
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
First, let's get rid of the constant term (-5) on the left-hand side by adding 5 to both sides:
-5 + 3x + 5 = 11 + 5
Simplifying, we get:
3x = 16
Now, we have 3x on the left-hand side and a constant term (16) on the right-hand side. To solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 3:
3x/3 = 16/3
We get:
x = 16/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 16/3.
