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**.
