We have 5 liters of a 30% salt solution: this means that there is 1.5 liters salt and 3.5 liters water.
To make the solution 50% salt, the amount of salt needs to be equal to the amount of water. Thus, there should be 1.5 liters of water remaining, and two liters of water should be evaporated.

0.30*5 - 0.00x = 0.50(5-x),
1.5 = 2.5 - 0.50x,
-1 = -0.50x,
x = 2 liters, the amount of water that should be evaporated.
