Solving
11 + b = 0

Move all terms containing b to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-11' to each side of the equation.
11 + -11 + b = 0 + -11

Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0
0 + b = 0 + -11
b = 0 + -11

Combine like terms: 0 + -11 = -11
b = -11

Simplifying
b = -11
Solution
b = {6, -11}
