subtract 11 should be done to both sides of the equation x + 11 = -17 to solve the value of x.
To solve the equation x + 11 = -17, you should subtract 11 from both sides of the equation.
To solve for the value of x in the equation x + 11 = -17, you need to perform the same operation on both sides of the equation to keep it balanced. In this case, the equation has a positive 11 on the left side, so to eliminate it, you need to subtract 11 from both sides of the equation.
Therefore, the correct option is "subtract 11" on both sides.
