x + 5 = 2x - 6
this is the equation so just solve for x
add 6 to both sides which equals
x + 11 = 2x
minus x to both sides which equals
11= x
so x = 11

five more than a certain number means
5+x
is means
=
and six less than twice the number means
2x-6
so in all its
5+x=2x-6
then you have to add 6 to both sides
11+x=2x
then you subtract x from both sides.
11=x
the answer is 11
