Question

What would make this equation false
4x + 3 = 11

Answer 1

`\text{Solve the equation:}\\\\4x + 3 = 11\\\\\text{Subtract 3 from both sides}\\\\4x=8\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 4}\\\\x=2\\\\\text{This means that the equation is TRUE if x equals to 20}\\\\\text{This means that any other number would make the equation false}\\\\\boxed{\text{Any number other than 2}}`

Answer 2

Any number other than 2

Explanation:

First, solve the equation

4x +3 = 11

Subtract 3 on both sides

4x=8

Divide by 4 on both sides

x=2

Since 2 is the solution, any number other than 2 would make the equation false

Hope this helps! :)
