Let's simplify the expression step by step using the order of operations.
The expression given is: \( (8 - 5) \times 3 - 11 \)
-
First, simplify inside the parentheses: \[ 8 - 5 = 3 \] So, the expression becomes: \[ 3 \times 3 - 11 \]
-
Next, do the multiplication: \[ 3 \times 3 = 9 \] Now, the expression is: \[ 9 - 11 \]
-
Finally, perform the subtraction: \[ 9 - 11 = -2 \]
Thus, the simplified expression is: \[ \boxed{-2} \]
