To solve the equation \( \frac{11}{s} + 3 + 4 = 5 \), we can start by simplifying it step by step.
1. Combine the constants on the left side:
\[
\frac{11}{s} + 7 = 5
\]
2. Next, isolate the term with \( s \) by subtracting 7 from both sides:
\[
\frac{11}{s} = 5 - 7
\]
\[
\frac{11}{s} = -2
\]
3. Now, to eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides by \( s \):
\[
11 = -2s
\]
4. Finally, solve for \( s \) by dividing both sides by -2:
\[
s = \frac{11}{-2}
\]
\[
s = -\frac{11}{2}
\]
So the solution for \( s \) is:
\[
s = -\frac{11}{2}
\]
