My Answer:

x equals the total number of players that signed up. Then you have to split this into 5 teams. 2 players end up not playing. This leaves you with 11 on each team.

Sample Response:

The equation could model a scenario determining the number of players on each team in a league of five teams, if 2 players have to be taken out of the possible players to be referees and to keep score. There will be 11 players on each team.
