The answer is no solution

Explanation:

The expression is
-2(11-12x)=-4(1-6x)

Multiplying the numbers within the bracket on both sides of the expression, we get,


-22+24x=-4+24x

Adding both sides by 4,


-18+24x=24x

Subtracting both sides by -24x, we get,


-18=0

which is a contraction because a non zero can never be equals to zero.

Hence, the expression has no solution.
