Answer:

All real numbers are solutions.

2(3x+9)=9x+7−3x+11

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2(3x+9)=9x+7−3x+11

(2)(3x)+(2)(9)=9x+7+−3x+11(Distribute)

6x+18=9x+7+−3x+11

6x+18=(9x+−3x)+(7+11)(Combine Like Terms)

6x+18=6x+18

6x+18=6x+18

Step 2: Subtract 6x from both sides.

6x+18−6x=6x+18−6x

18=18

Step 3: Subtract 18 from both sides.

18−18=18−18

0=0
