A good first step would be to multiply out the parentheses and simplify on the right-hand side.
Then subtract "3x" from either side, and subtract "11" from either side. Simplify.
Then divide through by "5".
If you get stuck, please reply showing how far you have gotten in following the above instructions. Thank you.
