Answer:

There is no answer.

Explanation:

-2(11 - 12x) = -4(1-6x)

First you need to simplify the equation, using distributive property.

Distribute -2 to the numbers within the parentheses.

-2*11 = -22

-2*-12x =24x

= 24x - 22

Then distribute -4 among 1 and -6.

-4*1 =-4

-4*-6x = +24x

= 24x - 4

And because

24x - 22 does NOT equal 24x - 4

There is no answer because they are not equivalent, making the equation itself false/untrue.
