To solve the equation \( x + 11 = -17 \) for \( x \), you should subtract 11 from both sides of the equation. This gives you:
\[ x + 11 - 11 = -17 - 11 \]
Simplifying that leads to:
\[ x = -28 \]
So, the correct response is subtract 11.
Which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation x + 11 = −17
to solve the value of x
