The equation \(f(5) = 2(5) - 3\) represents a function where the value of the function, denoted as \(f(x)\), is being evaluated at \(x = 5\). To solve it, we substitute \(x = 5\) into the equation and perform the necessary calculations:
\(f(5) = 2(5) - 3\)
Simplifying the expression on the right side:
\(f(5) = 10 - 3\)
\(f(5) = 7\)
Therefore, the value of the function \(f\) at \(x = 5\) is \(f(5) = 7\).
