$\large\boxed{18}$

In this question, we're trying to find the next number in the sequence.

We know that the sequence is:

-10, -3, 4, 11, ?

We're trying to find the number after 11.

To find the answer, we would need to notice how the sequence is changing.

You would notice that the sequence is adding 7 every time.

-10 + 7 = -3

-3 + 7 = 4

etc

Since we know that the numbers are increasing by 7 every time, we can get our answer.

We would simply add 11 and 7 to get our next number in the sequence.

11 + 7 = 18

The next number in the sequence would be 18
