I think the first line: so line A.

michele_laino · Answer

because, line A should be like this:
x/3+4=11

anonymous · Answer

Thank you!

michele_laino · Answer

sorry:
x/3=11+4

ageta · Answer

one is wrong because the sentence says 4 less then x/3

The equation they give is 
 x/3+4=-11

When it is supposed to be
 x/3-4=-11

anonymous · Answer

$$x \div3=11+4 $$

A number (n) divided by 3 ($n\div 3$) is four more than 11 ($n\div 3~=~4~+11$) than eleven

ageta · Answer

When it is supposed to be
x/3-4=-11

anonymous · Answer

It should be that one I think or is it this one:

$$x \div3=11-3$$

anonymous · Answer

It is line A.

ageta · Answer

yes the answer would be A

anonymous · Answer

Right? I mean . . . is it + or -?

sammixboo · Answer

is basically means equal to, and since it says 4 more than 11, it would be +
