Question

-4x-5=2-11x

One Solution, No Solution, Infinitely Many Solutions

Answer 1

One solution (i.e., x = 1)

Explanation:

We can solve for x using the following steps:

Step 1: Subtract 2 from both sides:

(-4x - 5 = 2 - 11x) - 2

-4x - 7 = -11x

Step 2: Add 4x to both sides:

(-4x - 7 = -11x) + 4x

-7 = -7x

Step 3: Divide both sides by -7 to solve for x:

(-7 = -7x) / -7

1 = x

Thus, x = 1, so there's one solution.
