To solve the equation 2z - 5 = 11, we can isolate z by adding 5 to both sides of the equation.

2z - 5 + 5 = 11 + 5

This simplifies to:

2z = 16

Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for z.

2z/2 = 16/2

This simplifies to:

z = 8

Therefore, the solution to the equation is z = 8.
