    - 6x + 2x - 11 = - 2(2x - 3) + 4

    - 6x + 2x - 11 = - 4x + 6 + 4

    - 4x - 11 = - 4x + 10

    0x = 21.

    no solution.

    First expand the brackets by multiplying the number outside the brackets to the left (-2) by all the terms inside the brackets, this will give you:

    -6x + 2x -11 = -4x + 6 + 4 (remember 2 negatives multiplied together gives a positive)

    Add the like terms (like terms are terms that have the same value like 2x and -6x):

    -4x - 11 = -4x + 10

    Add 11 to both sides to simplify the equation:

    -4x = -4x + 21

    Add 4x to both sides:

    0 = 21

    -----------------------

    Because the x's cancel each other out we will never find the value of x, if you ever get a question like this in a test do the working out and write "no solution" as your answer.

    - 6x + 2x - 11 = - 2(2x - 3) + 4

    - 6x + 2x - 11 = - 4x + 6 + 4

    - 4x - 11 = - 4x + 10

    0x = 21.

    no solution.

    Simplfiy the equation first: 3x-6+8x-24 = 6x-24+16x+8 Then combine like words: 11x-30 = 22x-sixteen Subtract 11x from the two aspects -30= 11x-sixteen upload -sixteen to the two aspects to isolate x -14= 11x X= -14/11 Plug it lower back in and you get -40 4= -40 4 so the respond is real

    no solution

    the left hand side of the equation becomes

    -4x -11

    The right hand side of the equation becomes

    -4x + 6 + 4 = - 4x +10

    so the equation become

    -4x - 11 = -4x -10

    adding 4x to both side we get

    -11 = - 10 which is incorrect therefore there is no solution

    There is no value for x. No solution exists
