To solve for \( s \) in the equation \( 11s + 3 + 4 = 5 \), first combine the constants on the left side:
\[ 11s + 7 = 5 \]
Next, isolate \( 11s \) by subtracting 7 from both sides:
\[ 11s = 5 - 7 \]
This simplifies to:
\[ 11s = -2 \]
Now, to solve for \( s \), divide both sides by 11:
\[ s = \frac{-2}{11} \]
Thus, the solution is:
\[ s = -\frac{2}{11} \]
