Answer:

infinite number of solutions

Explanation:

given the equation

9x + 5(2x + 11) = 3(x + 21) + 2(8x - 4) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

9x + 10x + 55 = 3x + 63 + 16x - 8 ( simplify both sides )

19x + 55 = 19x + 55

since both sides of the equation are the same, then any value of x will make the equation true.

the equation has an infinite number of solutions
