First, you would add 11x to both sides, because you are trying to separate the variable pieces and the constants (integers).

If performed correctly, you would get the equation
7x-5=6

Then, you would add 5 to both sides, to get the 7x alone.

This results in the equation 7x=11

Then, to get x alone, without a coefficient, you would need to divide both sides by 7.

x=11/7
