To solve the equation \( \frac{11}{s+3} + 4 = 5 \), we can follow these steps:
1. Subtract 4 from both sides:
\[
\frac{11}{s+3} = 1
\]
2. Multiply both sides by \( s + 3 \) (assuming \( s + 3 \neq 0 \)):
\[
11 = s + 3
\]
3. Subtract 3 from both sides:
\[
s = 11 - 3
\]
\[
s = 8
\]
Thus, the solution is:
\[
s = 8
\]
