Answer:

Explanation:

7(x - 2) - 4= 7x-11

(7x - 14) - 4 = 7x - 11

7x - 10 = 7x - 11

7x - 7x = -11 + 10

no solution :/

Answer:

no solution

Explanation:

on opening the braces , we get

7x - 14 - 4 = 7x - 11

solving further 7x gets canceled being common on both sides of the equality and we're left with an absurd thing

-18 = - 11

and it's not true, so the given equation has no solution
