We notice that the first term is 5 and the second term is 11, which differ by 6. The third term is therefore 17, and the fourth term is 23. Continuing this pattern, we find that the nth term is 6n - 1. So, the value of x in the second term is 5 + 3(11 - 5) = 5 + 18 = 23, and the value of x in the third term is 5 + 4(11 - 5) = 5 + 24 = 29. Therefore, we have:
6x - 1 = 23
6x = 24
x = 4
And,
6x - 1 = 29
6x = 30
x = 5
Since x can only have one value, the answer is D.
