Hey there!
For questions like these, we want to isolate the x on one side of the equation and have everything else on the other side.
[tex]11=5x-2[/tex]
Let's add both sides by 2 to eliminate the "-2"
[tex]13=5x[/tex]
Now, let's divide both sides by 5 to eliminate the "5" in front of the x.
[tex] \frac{13}{5} =x[/tex]
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)
