Answer:

0 solution

Explanation:

4x + 2(x – 3) = 4x + 2x – 11

Solve the parentheses:

4x + 2x - 5 = 4x + 2x - 11

Subtract 2x from both sides:

4x - 5 = 4x - 11

From what you can already see that those two expressions does not equal to each other. Let’s continue solving to confirm:

(Subtract 4x on both sides)

-5 = -11

There are 0 solutions

Answer:

4x + 2(x – 3) = 4x + 2x – 11

4x + 2x - 6 = 4x + 2x - 11

6x - 6 = 6x - 11

-6 = -11

There is no solution because -6 does NOT equal -11
