The dog is 8 years old because If you take 8 and multiply it by 2 you get 16 and then you subtract 5 and you get 11 years old or the cats age

Let the dog's age be called x.

From the given statement, the following equation can be framed

Cat's age = 2*x -5

We are given to know that Cat's age is 11 years

So, we have:

11 = 2x -5

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

Dog's age = 8 years
