Answer: True

Reason:

The 6x-x on the right hand side simplifies to 5x

This means the right hand side turns into 5x-11, which is an identical copy of the 5x-11 on the left side.

The equation 5x-11 = 5x-11 has infinitely many solutions because we can replace x with any real number to end up with a true statement.
