5x-2=3x+11
Move the (-2) to the right handside. As it crosses over the (-) becomes a (+)
5x=3x + (11+2)
Move the (+3x) to the left handside. As it crosses over the (-) becomes a (+)
(5x-3x)=(11+2)
Complete the maths
2x=13
Bring the 2 to the lefthand side. It is connected to the 'x' so therefore we want to divide the 13 wih the 2
x= 13/2
x= 6.5
