To find the value of \( k \) in the equation

\[ 11 = -3k - 22 - 8k, \]

first, combine the terms on the right side of the equation:

\[ -3k - 8k = -11k. \]

This simplifies the equation to:

\[ 11 = -11k - 22. \]

Next, we can isolate \( k \) by first adding 22 to both sides:

\[ 11 + 22 = -11k, \] \[ 33 = -11k. \]

Now, divide both sides by -11 to solve for \( k \):

\[ k = \frac{33}{-11} = -3. \]

Thus, the value of \( k \) is

\[ \boxed{-3}. \]
