Let's define the variable:
Let \( T \) represent the temperature change in degrees Fahrenheit.
The current temperature is 85°F, so the expression for the temperature after a change can be written as:
\[
T_{\text{new}} = 85 - T
\]
If there is a decrease of 11 degrees Fahrenheit, we substitute \( T \) with 11 in the expression:
\[
T_{\text{new}} = 85 - 11
\]
Now, we can evaluate this expression:
\[
T_{\text{new}} = 85 - 11 = 74
\]
Therefore, the temperature after it decreases by 11 degrees Fahrenheit will be **74°F**.
