    (C) Divide - 11 by both sides

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You want to solve for x, which means you need to get x alone on one side of the equation.

    -11 is connected to x, so you need to get rid of it. - 11 is being multiplied by x, so you need to divide it by x to cancel it out (get rid of it.)

    In other words, the first step of the equation is to divide - 11 by both sides of the equation.
