    The answer is 2. You can solve this by working backwards ...

    Start with 11 then subtract 5. Then you will get 6 and then you can divide by 3. Which will get you 2.

    The first part of solving this is to translate this into an algebraic equation. So you tripled your number (3x), added five ( + 5), and it equalled eleven ( = 11). Now, put it all together and solve it to get the number.

    3x + 5 = 11 Subtract 5 from both sides

    3x = 6 Divide both sides by 3

    x = 2

    Your number is 2.
