Let's keep things simple. The 11 carbon chain is called "undecane."

If two more branches are attached to the parent chain (which is the case here), more prefixes are added to the parent name. The prefixes are placed alphabetically, each with its number indicating the position of attachment to the parent.

We need to number the branches so that the prefix numbers are as low as possible.

First, let's draw the molecule so it looks more normal.
