To solve the equation \( x + 11 = -17 \) for \( x \), you should isolate \( x \) by eliminating the \( +11 \).
To do this, you need to subtract 11 from both sides of the equation.
So, the correct choice is:
subtract 11.
Which of the following should be done to both sides of the equation x + 11 = −17
to solve the value of x
