The value of variable is x = 1.

To solve this problem, we can use the following steps:

Combine the like terms on the left side of the equation:

2x^{2}+2x + x + 5 = 11

2x^{2}+3x + 5 = 11

Subtract 11 from both sides of the equation:

2x^{2}+3x + 5 - 11 = 11 - 11

2x^{2}+3x - 6 = 0

Factor the quadratic expression:

(2x+6)(x-1) = 0

Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x:

2x+6 = 0

x = -3

x-1 = 0

x = 1

Check the solutions by substituting them back into the original equation:

When x = -3:

2(-3)^{2}+2(-3)+x+5 = 11

18-6-3+5 = 11

14 = 11 (Not true)

When x = 1:

2(1)^{2}+2(1)+1+5 = 11

2+2+1+5 = 11

10 = 11 (True)

Therefore, the only solution to the equation is x = 1.
