You didn't ask any questions, so I'm going to guess that you want the steps to solve this equation for x.
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate the x-term.
6 = 2*x + 5
(The asterisk means multiplication.)
6 - 5 = 2*x + 5 - 5
1 = 2*x
Now, solve for x by dividing both sides by 2.
1/2 = (2/2)*x
x = 1/2
