To solve the equation \( x - 17 = 11 \), you should add 17 to both sides. This will isolate \( x \) on the left side. Here’s how it works step by step:
1. Starting with the equation:
\( x - 17 = 11 \)
2. Add 17 to both sides:
\( x - 17 + 17 = 11 + 17 \)
3. This simplifies to:
\( x = 28 \)
So, the correct action to take is to **add 17 to both sides**.
