To solve the equation \( 11s + 3 + 4 = 5 \), we first simplify the left side:
\[ 11s + 3 + 4 = 11s + 7 \]
So the equation becomes:
\[ 11s + 7 = 5 \]
Next, we isolate \( 11s \) by subtracting 7 from both sides:
\[ 11s = 5 - 7 \] \[ 11s = -2 \]
Now, we divide both sides by 11 to solve for \( s \):
\[ s = \frac{-2}{11} \]
Thus, the solution is:
\[ \boxed{-\frac{2}{11}} \]
