To solve the equation \(11s + 3 + 4 = 5\), first simplify the left side:

\[ 11s + 3 + 4 = 11s + 7 \]

Now the equation is:

\[ 11s + 7 = 5 \]

Next, subtract \(7\) from both sides:

\[ 11s = 5 - 7 \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 11s = -2 \]

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

\[ s = \frac{-2}{11} \]

Thus, the solution for \(s\) is:

\[ s = -\frac{2}{11} \]
