Let's solve the equation given:

- 5(3 - x) + 4 = 5x - 11

-15 + 5x + 4 = 5x - 11

5x - 11 = 5x - 11

Adding 11 to both sides of the equation:

5x - 11 + 11 = 5x - 11 + 11

5x = 5x

This equation has infinite solutions

Interpretation:

If we replace x by any number the equality will remain, no matter what number x will take. That's why this equation wil have infinite number of solutions.

Example: x = 5

5 * 7 = 5 * 7

35 = 35

Example 2: x = √2

5 * √2 = 5 * √2

5 √2 = 5 √2
