Answer:

x + (-11)

Step-by-step explanation:

so you lost the 6 gallons and 5 gallons. so to find the original amount (I will use x). you need to subtract it from the amount. but since you are being asked to add. you use a negative

x + (-6) + - (5)

or you can combine

x + (-11)

it is equivalent to

x - 11
